    Absolutely. They were happy tears, I Belong To Glasgow! I have lots of good memories of my early to mid teenage years seeing them live he should have been a much bigger star than he was, but then he wouldn't have been as good somehow, I think. :)

    Its the line "Mother Glasgow's succour is perpetual" that really gets me. A love song about Glasgow written by a Dundonian, who'd have thunk? Lol the Scots have taken over the thread :o
