    I've been told that a O Canada is becoming quite popular as a drinking tune in Scotland, which I don't need to tell you makes me proud . I suppose it only makes sense, we sing Scottish and Irish songs over here at parties. Now if only I knew some Welsh music...

    I regret that I didn't hear it over the past five days although I did encounter (and had to pose with coz I was in a kilt) some Canadians

    There are, of course, some excellent Welsh tunes such as Men of Harlech, All through the night (Ar Hyd y Nos), Calon Lan, Myfanwy, Gwahoddiad and the Welsh Anthem Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Land of my Fathers). Many Hymn tunes also such as Cwm Rhondda which is normally sung to Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah.

    You don't need to know the Welsh words to enjoy the music

    Please any Scots out there send me the latest rendition of O' Canada so that I can keep up with all the the latest changes. I believe those written above are the old lyrics. Didn't the pc crowd change the lyrics from:
    True patriot love in all thy sons command.
    To:
    True patriot love in all thy souls command.
