Happy New Year 2012
| With the New Year almost upon us I want to take this opportunity to wish you the very best for the coming year. Of course I’ll be sleeping in late because, just like you, I’ll start off the New Year at exactly midnight on New Year’s Eve by singing Auld Lang Syne. We’ll all be singing it and most of us won’t have a clue what the title actually means!
So, just for fun, I looked up the songs history. I learned that Auld Lang Syne is a traditional Scottish song. The version we know today was written (in part at least) by Robert Burns in the 1700′s. The title refers to “old long ago,” or the good old days, as we would say today. I don’t want you to stumble around when it comes time to sing it, so I’m passing along the lyrics to you. Have a great New Year’s Day and don’t forget to break a resolution or two! |
