Right, Colin? :mrgreen:

If I had to pick another one, it would have to be Waltzing Matilda. There are just too many to pick from.

I quite agree with that one...especially if you have a few lads that can sing those harmonies...Stan Rogers = most excellent!

I'll have to check that out; however, the only real way to hear the song is to hear Stan Rogers singing it. I have a version on Stan's CD Home in Halifax, and it send chills down your spine to hear all of the bluenoses singing along --sorta like the Aussies singing Waltzing Matilda with John Williamson, or Flower of Scotland at a fitba match.

Barley Mow by Seamus Kennedy is great. You start with a full drink and by the end it's empty.
