Auld Lang Syne
The story of the famous 'New Year's Eve' song
For as long as I can remember, every New Years Eve people have sung the old familiar song 'Auld Lang Syne'. I recall as a teen-ager playing it on the piano on New Year's Eve, and kids galore standing around the piano singing:
'Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never thought upon,
The flames of love extinguished,
And freely past and gone?
Is thy kind heart now grown so cold
In that loving breast of thine,
That thou canst never once reflect
On old-long-syne?
Apparently no one knows the true origin of the song, although it has been credited to Robert Burns, the writer and poet. But Burns himself tells a different story:
Robert Burns sent a copy of the original song to the British Museum with this comment: 'The following song, an old song, of the olden times, and which has never been in print, nor even in manuscript until I took it down from an old man's singing , is enough to recommend any air.'
But what in the world do the words mean?
Should old acquaintances be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld Lang syne,
We�ll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
Should old acquaintances be forgotten
and never remembered
Should old acquaintance be forgotten
For old long ago
For old long ago, my dear
For old long ago
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago





And here's the complete version:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance b"

Chord Finder
Have you ever spent time searching for a particular chord? Or forgotten the notes to a scale you don't use very often? Well, I found this great tool the other day that solves those problems. No more leafing through your chord book or stumbling through an unfamiliar scale. The product is from a gentleman named Duane Shinn and it's called the Instant Chord Finder. This tool is a perfect example of what computer's are good for in the music world.
The Instant Chord Finder has a very pleasing display that consists of a few major panels - I'll tell you where to go to see it in a minute. The 'key' panel lets you select the key you're interested in. The program then displays, by default, the major chord of the key you just selected in its root position.
The chord panel lets you select chords. By default, you see the selected chord in the root position. To display that chord in its inverted position, just click on the chord name in the inversion panel.
You can also select a clef. The clef selection button switches the displayed chord between the treble and bass clefs when you click it.
To display the notes of a major or minor scale, just click on the Scale button and select the scale you want to see from the drop-down box. The Chord Finder is so easy to use you really don't need any instructions (although Duane sends some along just in case). I have the CD version (more on that in a second) and I just popped it into my CD drive and started using it. It really is that simple. The display is very easy to interpret.
You can get your hands on this great tool in two ways - order it on CD,"
