Have to say I was gobsmacked by the reference on 26th February 2003 to 'Old Lang Zine/---!!!! That would certainly have Robert Burns turning in his grave -- and it fair gars me grue! The song is Auld Lang SYNE with an 'S' !!!!!
As for funeral songs- - there are so many laments in both the Scots and the Gaelic traditions that we are spoiled for choice! Heart-rending, beautiful, sorrowful --- songs, tunes, ballads - -- and we Celts really love to hear them, play them, sing them - - -
