Subject: RE: Origin: I Belong to Glasgow (Will Fyffe)
I Belong To Glasgow, the song by Will Fyffe. My name is Joe and I was born there, in 1980.

The first recorded version is by fife in 1921. in 1911 he went to that town and drunk wine in a pud, and heard the words from Harry Lauder. The one we know today is the 1927 version.

When I went to Edinburgh in 1987 the song I was encouraed to learn it after hearing the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra version on vinyl, the medley included Loch Lomond, The Song Of Aberdeen, and Westering Home. I listened to this all the time when i was just a child at the home. My bandmate sung all the Scots songs very well and I accompanied on accordion.
