Editor,
Good will, friendship and kind regard to all.
As often seems to be the case, a guest perspective column was just about the most enjoyable part of a recent Daily Journal (“Auld Lang Syne,” by Belmont Councilmember Tom McCune, Friday, Dec. 30, 2022).
It was a pleasant ending to the week, and the year.
And, Tom’s column took me back to New Year’s Eves of my youth, when our family would gather round the television to enjoy Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians perform, with their band’s most popular, “Auld Lang Syne,” being the high point of the traditional broadcast.
Now I plan to listen to the B.B. King version of “Auld Lang Syne” that Tom recommends.
Thank you Tom. Thank you Daily Journal.
Good will, friendship and kind regard to all.
