Thread Name: Farewell songs for the last round
Subject: RE: Farewell songs for the last round
I thank you for the new ideas and, even more for the old ideas. Eddie is quite correct to mention that "Auld Lang Syne" is more than just Dick Clark's theme song and Joe's entry, "Will You No Come Back, Again", has, often, been used as the last song of some of the best sessions I have attended. (Parting may be sweet sorrow but the Scots seem to have made a culture out of it) "And We Bid You, Goodnight" takes me back to Fox Hollow, in the late 60's, when we learned it from The Golden Ring. "Rolling Home" was the last song at every session with Spencer Nelson or Theresa Pyott of OUTWARD BOUND and most other chanty singers, too.
Anyway, thanks for the memories.
