Best Wishes for a Happy 2016


























Wishing my readers a very Happy New Year, and including the lyrics to a song that many are familiar with as a New Year's Eve song. Auld Lang Syne was written by Robert Burns in 1788. The lyrics were set to the tune of a traditional folk song. This song is often played/sung on New Year’s Eve, as a way of ushering in the New Year.

Auld Lang Syne


Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne.
