Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?
“Auld Lang Syne” is a traditional Scottish song that is widely recognized and commonly associated with New Year’s Eve celebrations. The title, “Auld Lang Syne,” can be translated to English as “old long since,” “long, long ago,” or “days gone by.”
My first inductee(s) for my Songwriters Award is Lennon and McCartney, John Lennon’s 2nd time and Paul McCartney’s 3rd time into Doyle’s Space Music Hall of Fame.
Lennon and McCartney complemented one another as personalities and as musicians. McCartney’s melodic facility smoothed over some of Lennon’s rougher edges. Lennon’s grit added texture and leavened some of McCartney’s more saccharine tendencies.
