Subject: RE: Origins: The Parting Glass
I just heard this song for the very first time tonight by Celtic Woman and no one has commented on what a beautiful song it is ; I extremely rarely come across a song which moves me so much and it leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling and that's without drinking from the parting glass; it sounds a bit like auld lang syne in parts and just read 'supposedly it was the most popular New Years Eve song in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne." But apparently it may be an Irish song as well as popular there. Anyone know if its really Irish or Scottish ?
