Lisa Ahia and Joy Sanford

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to celebrate the days of Auld Lang Syne.

Ok, I strive for variety in my From The Archives Of Something Blue podcasts. Fortunately I have a huge backlog of recordings in many styles of music.

This is the first time I’ve ever played the exact same band playing at the exact same concert one week apart.

But when I found “What Child Is This” on a KASU Jazz For The Holidays concert I noticed that they ended the show with “Auld Lang Syne”. And you know, New Years follows Christmas every year so.

The song is based on Scottish folk songs. I quote.

Robert Burns sent a copy of the original song to the Scots Musical Museum in 1788 with the remark, “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.”*

Much of the lyric was actually written by Robert Burns.

The first recording of the song was made on wax cylinder in 1898.*

Playing that night were.

Lisa Ahia – vocals
Gary Gazaway – trumpet
Joy Sanford – piano
Tim Crouch – violin
Robert Bowlin – guitar
David Eckert – bass
and
John Long – drums


Gary Gazaway, Joy Sanford, and David Eckert

Some of the best musicians in Northeast Arkansas.

I’ll post a link to the concert at the Something Blue website, sbblues.com.

So, now, recorded on December 1, 2018, here’s Lisa Ahia singing “Auld Lang Syne”.
