Auld Lang Syne

 The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin. With thanks to composer/music journalist Mark Gresham of EarRelevant for this beauty.

Should old acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
and old lang syne?

[Chorus - this part repeats after every verse]
For auld lang syne, my dear
for auld lang syne
we'll take a cup of kindness yet
for auld lang syne.

And surely you'll buy your pint cup
and surely I'll buy mine
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
for auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream
from morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty friend
And give me a hand o' thine
And we'll take a right goodwill draught
for auld lang syne

Heard it through the grapevine

 In case you missed it last night, here is Ariana DeBose singing the classic song in honor of Gladys Knight:

Impossible not to shake your groove thing listening to this. I want to be one of the back-up singers.

A dog of Flanders

 Thought you might enjoy this presentation from the Morgan Library & Museum. The book is available online as well, if you're interested in downloading & reading. Sadly, I wasn't able to find the edition in question.

 

 

Seventh day of Hanukah

 Andy found these other Six13 videos that not only are fun, but educational for us goyim who haven't a clue what it's about.

West Side Chanukah Story

A Hamilton Chanukah

And this one about Passover/Pesach

The Red Sea Shanty

And now something from our tradition. Keep an ear out for the special chord on the word "Word" in the last verse. 

Oh come all ye faithful (with words and music to follow along

Six13 Elton Johnukah

Enjoy.

Someday at Christmas

 Lewis Cato, the Late Show Band, and the Harlem Gospel Choir:

 

 

Someday At Christmas

The Temptations

 

Someday at Christmas, men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December, our hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas, there'll be no wars
When we've have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on Earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas, we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning, people will share
A world where people care

Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears
When all men are equal and no man has fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas, man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime 

Merry Christmas everybody (Merry Christmas!)
