well, it is officially New Year’s Eve here, so I’ve got a few songs for you for the occasion (get them while you can):

Dan Fogelberg – Same Old Lang Syne.  This gets played a lot at Christmas but I remember (vaguely) when this song came out, which was not at Christmas.  At any rate, this is a good “story song.”

Seasons of Love from “Rent.”  This is the movie version.  Some might think me awful out there, but I think this song should be the new auld lang syne for our generation.  The lyrics speak of things that happen in 525,600 minutes.  I love this song.

Brian Setzer Orchestra – What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve.  On the newest Christmas CD (Dig That Crazy Christmas).  Do you honestly think I wouldn’t get one BSO song in?  Of course not!  He sings this as a duet with his wife, Julie.

Have a safe and most of all HAPPY New Year!  Here’s to the next 525,600 minutes.
