A song for the new year, set in Abington Hill, Peoria Illinois in 1975 and tells the story of a chance encounter between Dan Fogelberg and his old girlfriend from schooldays. Home for the holidays he was sent out to get some cream for Irish Coffee and bumped into her at a local convenience store. He released the song as a single in 1980 after he heard she was divorced but wouldn't say whether it was true or not and it was only after he died from prostate cancer in 2007 that the girl (Jill Greulich) admitted it was her. Beautiful song and those with musical connections will know what I mean. With thanks to JMeagle101 who posted and youtube.
