about

This was written by the great Murray McLauchlan and it's a song that should really be the Canadian New Year's anthem. In fact, I'd like to see it accepted worldwide as a standby along with Auld Lang Syne. The verses are a roadmap of how to live a good life and be a good person, each of them punctuated with that rousing chorus:

Ring the old year out
Ring the new year in
Bring us all good luck
Let the good guys win

We dedicate this performance to our dear friend Susan Lee and to the memory of her partner, our friend and bandmate, Ken Heins.
