For Auld Lang Syne -- New Year's Eve 2011

Just wanted to wish all GCers a Happy New Year! Enjoy whatever celebrations strike your fancy.

I also thought I'd share a video. I enjoy a rousing rendition of Auld Lang Syne as much as the next guy, but in this video you can hear it to the tune that Burns had in mind when he wrote it. Perhaps a little more introspective and poignant than the tune we're used to, it always catches me in the heart just a bit. The arms-crossed hand-holding for the last verse is the Scottish tradition for the song. (And a verse in Gaelic is a bonus.)

A Guid Hogmanay and a cup o' kindness tae all!
