This New Years eve KELG 98.0 THE CANYON reflects on lost loves. This beautiful, pensive song was autobiographical. Dan Fogleberg was visiting family back home in Peoria, Illinois in the mid-1970s when he ran into an old girlfriend at a convenience store. After his death the woman about whom he wrote the song came forward with her story. Her name is Jill Greulich, and she and Fogelberg dated in high school when she was Jill Anderson. Five years after their encounter Jill heard Same Old Lang Syne on the radio while driving to work, but she kept quiet about it, as Fogelberg also refused to disclose her identity. Her main fear was that coming forward would disrupt Fogelbergs marriage. By the time of the songs release, she had divorced her husband. She disclosed to the Peoria Journal Star in a December 22, 2007 article. Sadly, Dan passed away from Prostate cancer in 2007. RIP Dan.
