This is about my favorite holiday song. I remember hearing this song played by Guy Lombardo at a very young age, back in the 1950s. Its mournful melancholy sound was so sad, it made such an impression on me. I have a tradition for many decades now, of playing this song right at the stroke of midnight on every New Years Eve. .......According to Wikipedia. It is a Scotts poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). It is well known in many countries, especially in the English-speaking world, its traditional use being to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight. By extension, it is also sung at funerals, graduations and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. The songs Scots title may be translated into English literally as old long since, or more idiomatically, long long ago days gone by or old times. Consequently For auld lang syne youtu.be/ZgV-S0UN4u8
