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.

Although not celtic, a great drinking song, "I Like Beer" by Tom T. Hall.

There are several Scottish ones performed by the late Sir Harry Lauder:
I Belong to Glasgow
Just a Wee Deoch an' Doris (sp?)
I Like Mackay
You can still find some CD's on Amazon.com.

A band from my hometown of Durango, CO, called Beltaine, recorded a version of that song in a medley that also contained the theme from X Files turned into a jig.
