How does everyone play Auld Lang Syne, fast or slow? Big band and/or Jazzy?

Thanks
Al

I play it very slowly at midnight, and immediately after change tempo and do it upbeat big band style, or rock 'n roll style, depending on the venue and audience. Then usually go into something like When The Saints Go Marching In, or Shake Rattle and Roll. Keep them on the dance floor for six or eight minutes, then I take a break and see if they will LEAVE!

Right on brother Don!
I take my last break near the 11:30 hour, so when I go back on ... it's an all out - intense party/dance till about 12:15 or so .... then I calm them down so they can have their coffee and danish and get ready for bed!

That's a riot!! Thanks, I needed that laugh. We're playing until 2:00 am so that's not an option. The Hall we are playing at is breaking out breakfast at 1:30 am with eggs, bacon, pancakes, danish, coffee, etc. I'm sure most people; 170+ will stick around to get their monies worth.

DonM and I use an identical format for New Year's Eve, though I usually continue to play till about 12:30 and hope those still here will stick around and help clean up.
