Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Scotland Will Flourish (The Corries) From: Ross Campbell Date: 14 May 11 - 10:12 PM Ian Jack in the Guardian, Saturday 14th May, 2011, suggests "Scotland Will Flourish" as an alternative anthem to the three informal Scottish anthems - Robert Burns's "Scots Wha Hae", Cliff Hanley's "Scotland the Brave" or Roy Williamson's "Flower of Scotland". Ian Jack's Guardian article A couple of lines from the song were lifted by Alec Salmond in his speech following the SNP's recent election success. I missed this song when the Corries were singing it, most internet lyric sites credit them but not the author, Ian Blacklaw Richardson (who actually signed with the Corries' publishing company) - and some strange interpretations proliferate. Thank goodness for the Mudcat (and Jim Maclean!) The Corries singing "Scotland Will Flourish" Ross |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Scotland Will Flourish (The Corries) From: Allan Conn Date: 15 May 11 - 04:38 AM "Intense hatred? Explanation please!" Aye even if it isn't meant to come out the way it does (which I suspect is the case) it isn't the best way to win friends and influence people :-) |

(I had the pleasure of accompanying him on harmonica and banjo) These can be found on my playlist "Max and Me" at the following address: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PLB986D08D6BE5C31B |
