Thread Name: Tune Info Req: 'Auld Lang Syne'
Subject: RE: Tune Info Req: 'Auld Lang Syne'
Eddi Reader's tune arrangement seems to be so stylized and modulated that it's hard for me to tell if it's exactly the same tune as "KelticKev" plays and sings here:
Auld Lang Syne to Burns's "intended" tune.
In any case I prefer the way Kev sings it, and I'd probably prefer that tune if I weren't so used to the one used by Guy Lombardo and so many others.

Anyone know if, and how, Burns communicated a tune preference for this poem?
