Thread Name: Lyr Req: Northern Lights (Don Lange)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Northern Lights (Don Lange)
I'd like to thank Chris Winter for the kind words about the work Don and I did so many years ago. Don and I performed all over the mid-west in the early 70's and circumstances fit for
a 'who-done-it' or 'what-the-heck-was-that' type paperback book, sent us different directions just as the album was released. At the time, Bruce had cartons of albums sitting in his Chicago apartment, and they may be there still because, seriously, "what do I do now?"
would have been the question of the day.
    After 40 years, Don and I have been in touch. There have been numerous requests for the album and a re-release with selected additional tracks from a catalog of 100's of songs we both have written since 1975 may actually happen. It's, at least, a serious rumor.
    Don has 3 albums easily obtainable, but the 3 Flying Fish albums (1 by F & L, and 2 by Don)
remain hard to find. The albums that are out there seem to be the original release vinyl records.   I'd like to say - the original release of Northern Lights - is the definitive version of the song.   Thanks
