How ironic - I heard "Same Auld Lang Syne" for the first time this season today. May he rest in peace, and his family find solace.


But on a more personal note, more men need to be aware of the danger of prostate cancer. My godson's father passed away two years ago last month, at the age of 50. He asked to be tested for it when he was 42, and was told that it wasn't necessary. By the time it was caught, he was told he had had it for over 10 years.

How sad. My friends and I bought a lot of his albums just before leaving for college. I loved the sound of his voice. He was such a talent and will be sadly missed.

I loved "Run for the Roses"

Wonderful singer.

So sad. I was wondering about him a few days ago.

"The leader of the band
Is tired and his eyes are growing old,
But his blood runs thru' my instrument
And his song is in my soul.
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man.
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band."

Just read about his passing online. Very sad...his songs bring back lots of good memories of my high school years.

So sad. Such a beautiful voice and a beautiful person. Rest in peace, Dan.

I just heard that song 2 days ago -- I hadn't heard it in years. I just downloaded it from itunes and really listened to the lyrics closely. I always wondered why my sister used it as a ringtone for my dad. Now I know why....and I'm all weepy.

Ohhh....that song came out just when my dad was killed and the words were so appropriate. I cried for years when I heard that song.

Next to "My Old Kentucky Home", "Run for the Roses" causes many a grown Kentuckian to weep. Myself included.

I heard "Same Auld Lang Syne" for the first time this season today.

One of the few holiday songs I actually look forward to hearing.
