Tom and Mary Kay Aufrance of Gairin have a long tradition of ending their Celtic music sessions with friends at the Irish pub in South Lake Tahoe by singing The Parting Glass. For the group, it is more than a closing song. It is a moment to share a connection with everyone who has gathered for the music.

Mary Kay tells of how people would approach them afterward, sometimes with happy tears still in their eyes, saying things like, "Your duet really reached me." Those heartfelt reactions stay with Tom and Mary Kay, reminding them of why they make music. The Parting Glass became a way to say thank you, to honor friendships, and to send everyone home with a warm heart.

Their version of The Parting Glass appears on the CD Ramblin Irishman, recorded under their Gairin Celtic Music label. The CD has since become a collectors item, but the music lives on. You can stream or download the songs on your favorite music site and experience the same gentle farewell that has touched so many listeners.

Enjoy the music video on this page, and let this timeless song wrap you in the same sense of comfort and connection that Tom and Mary Kay share with their audiences.
