We have lost a lot of musicians this year, particularly in the last month or so.
Take time to savor all the beauty they bring.
I still appreciate this song done right. 😀
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 dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I’ll be mine,
And we’ll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou’d the gowans fine,
But we’ve wander’d monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne.
And there’s a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o thine,
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.

And just a reminder:
Keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.
Put something new in your life, if only for the variety. You might like it. 😀
Happy New Year – Abba
“Nothin’ New For New Year” by Harry Connick, Jr. and George Jones
and just because
Aretha Franklin (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman – Carole King – Kennedy Center Honors 2015
Thanks Tina…,
I saw a clip of Aretha doing that song on PBS News Hour last night…, and was going to hunt it down myself…, and post it along with the Carole King version. Of course…, I get the lyrics wrong…, and sing, “… a natural man.”

Happy New Year…, one and all !!!
more musicians’ deaths this year- left me nostalgic for feelings sung out loud and the times I first heard them:
Percy Sledge: When a Man Loves a Woman
Jimmy Greenspoon: How Can People Be So Ugly
Ben E. King Stand by Me
a later version as the song changed from a personal plea to a worldwide crowd song- sorry for the horrible audio quality
and ,of course
Leslie Gore: You Don’t Own Me
December you say?
B.B. King. Listening to him just makes you feel good.
The others I’m proposing either died earlier or survived the year.
Meatloaf is cheesy, but fun. Objects in the rear view mirror. . . .
I would think that A Long December would get more annual air play than it does, but maybe Christmas music crowds it out.
I’ll see your Celtic songs, and raise you one. The one.
And personal nostalgia, since I spent a great year in Paris in my youth.
