Now it is played exclusively, to bring in the New Year. Happy 2014, and many more!!!!

I still like Guy Lombardo's version the best.

Guy Lombardo - Auld Lang Syne (1953) - YouTube


Although Guy Lombardo and his brothers, etc. are actually in my family tree (a lot of our Lombardi/Lombardo's** and other surnames went to Canada from Italia)..........and aside from the fact that my mom and dad listened to Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians each and every New Year's Eve (they were not party animals so just watched it on the television);
Dad would always comment on how they were related to his paisanos.......


I later made the connection while doing my genealogy research................and also even though I love to reminisce with Guy Lombardo's music, Burns was Scottish.........and the midi player tune seems more fitting to what the Scots might have listened to.....or sung along with, given the old world lyrics.


Still wonderful to listen to Guy Lombardo after all these years........
We grew up with the same.........thanks for sharing.
