As a male with a bass/baritone voice, I have done this song in karaoke. I wanted to hear another male do it, It sounds like the pitch thing is difficult for many of us. This is a good version though, one to emulate.
I heard it on the radio as a kid in Detroit. Loved it--still do. It is the first time I have heard it in probably 20 years. it's good to hear it again.
I agree with Mr. Sammie about this song. It is a tragic opera with a great story. Another of Fogelberg's epic works is "Ghosts.' More philosophy than story, but an absolute classic.
