"AULD LANG SYNE" - SUNG BY FAY & ERSKINE KNOWLES

From a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns, known as the National Poet of Scotland, in 1788, but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799 it was set to a traditional pentatonic tune, which has since become standard. "For auld lang syne" might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times".

Acoustic cover by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Erskine Knowles from The Bahamas and his wife Fay, an author, long-time resident of The Bahamas and originally from Scotland. Fay's books can be found at FAY'S AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE. Her first illustrated children's book set in The Bahamas, "Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure" is now available in paperback, hardcover and as an eBook at ISLAND SURPRISE: A BAHAMIAN ADVENTURE

"WHAT CHILD IS THIS?" - WILLIAM CHATTERTON DIX 1865 (COVER ERSKINE KNOWLES)

“What Child Is This?” – William Chatterton Dix 1865
Acoustic Cover by Erskine Knowles. Introduced by Fay Knowles.

"What Child Is This?" is a Christmas carol with lyrics written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865 and set to the tune of "Greensleeves", a traditional English folk song (possibly by Richard Jones), in 1871. Although written in Great Britain, the carol today is more popular in the United States than its country of origin. (Source Wikipedia).
