Every year, year after year, we sing the words but almost no one knows what they mean. A bit of research indicates that Auld Lang Syne roughly translates to “Times gone by” or “Sake of old times.” So, rather simply, when we raise our glasses on New Years Eve and drink to those thrilling days of yesteryear, the song actually fits!
While it’s okay to look back, be careful not to stare. Remember we are celebrating “out with the old and in with the new” not the other way around. Here, Kenny G and his soprano sax accompany an historical retrospective, to which I’ve added a look of time travel at the open, to welcome the changing of the calendar … and wish you a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!
