Welcoming the New Year in 1908 and 1912.


"Auld Lang Syne" was a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to a folk tune of the day. Similar sentiments have been attributed to other writers of even earlier times.
The tune was made popular by Canadian band leader, Guy Lombardo, starting in 1929. (Wikipedia)
