    Doug, you are right about that.

    Cockle Georgie would be a better choice.

    I just checked it out Rich! Interesting song. I’ll look forward to your CBG rendition since there aren’t any strings in the Battlefield Band version.

    Thanks, Doug.

    There is a rousing version of Braw Lads O' Galla Water on this album.
