Only problem with instrumental music is sometimes you miss out on great Robert Burns lyrics:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

I never really knew what all that meant until a couple of my ViolinWOD students starting learning it for New Years. (Thanks Jami and Pete!) Then I realized what a great song it is.
Still love and relate to this little bit from Harry met Sally:
Harry: [about Auld Lang Syne] What does this song mean? My whole life, I don’t know what this song means. I mean, ‘Should old acquaintance be forgot’? Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we happened to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot?
Sally: Well, maybe it just means that we should remember that we forgot them or something. Anyway, it’s about old friends.
Can’t you imagine Billie Crystal and Meg Ryan saying those lines?
Anyway, Kelly and I had fun playing a holiday web concert for you guys and whipped up this fun little version of Auld Lang Syne:

We’ve got another web concert on the books and hope you can join us!
It’s Saturday Feb 11 at 1pm PST.
You can sign up and get a “ticket” (for whatever you’d like to pay…) right here:

In the meantime I’d love to hear about your New Years resolutions or goals.
