Yesterday it was “Auld Lang Syne.” No really, I got home from class and using the internet and there it was. “Should old acquaintance be forgot..” I mentioned to Henry that I don’t actually know the words and he started to sing it. I was surprised by the Scottish in it. He said, “Well, yeah, it is a Scottish song after all…” No wonder I didn’t know the words. I had no idea, I’m willing to bet all of the versions I’ve heard have been “Americanized.” I wonder what I’ll hear today…
