Auld Lang Syne

Audio Recording

ImageHappy New Year! And, if you really want to make 2024 a year to remember, there's always a stateroom on the Mark Steyn Caribbean Cruise, on which we shall present, as we always do, a live-performance edition of our Song of the Week.

~If you missed today's Serenade Radio edition of Steyn's Song of the Week, here's a chance to catch up. Mark traces the history of the undisputed champ of Hogmanay hits across the centuries, via Scotch crofters, Canadian novelists, Italian bandleaders and American movie stars.

To listen to the show, simply click above.

Bonus! Here's that other New Year song that Mark mentions en passant, in a unique arrangement, live on stage in Montreal with Steyn, a brace of acclaimed jazz musicians - singer Carol Welsman and guitarist Russell Malone - and The Mark Steyn Show Band:

~Programming note: Tomorrow, Monday, we shall have a New Year's Day special for you. Also, if you've yet to hear our annual presentation of Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols, the latter performed live by members of the Steyn Show's musical family, you can find that here.

~The above audio edition of Steyn's Song of the Week is adapted from Mark's book A Song For The Season, personally autographed copies of which are exclusively available from the Steyn store (and, if you're a Mark Steyn Club member, don't forget to enter your promotional code to enjoy special member pricing).

We launched the Steyn Club over six-and-a-half years ago, and in this our seventh year we're immensely heartened by all the longtime SteynOnline regulars - from Fargo to Fiji, Madrid to Malaysia, West Virginia to Witless Bay - who've signed up to be a part of it. Club members are welcome to comment on this year's Christmas and New Year music selections below. For more on The Mark Steyn Club, see here - and don't forget our Steyn Club Gift Membership.
