Yes, I am still singing "Peace Around this World." In fact, I added a new verse, to be sung right after the one about farmers.

Let's drink to the weavers, all in the weaving room,
Let's drink to the weavers, all in the weaving room,
May the cloth of many colors,
Come forth from your loom,
And peace around this world.

Additional verses are welcome.

Steve: I heard you do your New Years Song last year. I assume you'll be singing it again this year. It's taken on a whole new meaning.

Could be 'cause it's Good Ol' Robbie Burns in traditional scots dialect. Here is the version in the 'cat.

Enjoy!
