A traditional Irish song, "The Parting Glass," akin to "Auld Lang Syne." "Parting Glass" is said to have been sung at the "wakes" held by Irish families and villages for family members and friends departing Ireland, most of them never expecting to see their family and friends in Ireland again, after they went across the seas.
To friends everywhere, a very happy new year, with loving memories of friends departed in 2010.
