It’s a minute past midnight in New York on January 1, 1954.

The partygoers include  Rose Bampton-Wilfrid Pelletier Mr. & Mrs. S. Chotzinoff Blair Chotzinoff Mr. & Mrs. Yashia Merovich Guido Cantelli-Iris Cantelli Walter Toscanini & Cia Fornaroli Walfredo Toscanini-Miece Horzowski Wanda Horowitz-Arturo Toscanini.

Auld Lang Syne never sounded quite like this.

People knew how to have fun.
