Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788.  The English translation literally means "old long since."

It quickly became a Scottish tradition to sing the song on New Year's Eve and that tradition spread throughout the British Isles.  As European's emigrated to the US they brought the song and it's tradition with them.
The Canadian band leader, Guy Lombardo, began using the song on his popular radio broadcast on New Year's Eve in 1929 and the song became his trademark.

I hope you enjoy this lovely banner.
