7. Song:Auld Lang Syne Now VOA Special English presents a special program for New Year's Eve. That is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year's Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne. It is the traditional music played during the New Year's celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends. The words Auld Lang Syne mean old long since. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version by Scottish poet Robert Burns was published in 1796. The words and music we know today first appeared in a song book three years later. The version you are hearing today is by the Washington's Saxophone quartet. One of the 4 musicians in the group is VOA's Rich Kainfaite. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne, I would like to wish all of our radio friends a very happy New Year. This is Shep O'neal.
