I thought the "Auld Lang Syne" was to ring out the old millenium, which would make it later than 1993. Gord's was to be the last voice heard in the old and the first heard in the new - for CBC, IIRC?
It was actually the ringing in the first day of the last year of the old millenium (thus the end of the 20th century i.e. on 1 January 1999). In retrospect I guess that way the producers avoided the then raging argument of whether the new millenium/21st century would start on January 1st 2000(incorrect )
or 1 January 2001 (mathematicaly and unimpeachably correct)
By the way i understand that Maheen being visually impaired is unable to see and appreciate Jimmy Jones' sterling efforts to devise s fake GL Christmas album amongst other hilarious creations.I'll have to transcribe the song titles and assorted duetting artists for Maheen
