This the first of many songs from a one day practice session at Marist College in 1989, 20 years after the Frobisher Bay Volunteers had performed professionally.

  • Thank you. I see in your profile that you do some very good things abroad. Nice work. My wife and I spend some winter months in south western florida, cowboy country.

  • woah, that was amazing !

  • Thank you very much. We all loved singing together and 'Lassie' was a favorite.

  • This is a nice Song but I really wish the Irsihs wouldn't try to steal Scottish songs and call them their own....it is Scottish musc not Irish. If I play knees up mother brown on the pipes, it doesn't make it Scottish now does it?

  • I do understand that the origin of Will You Go Lassie Go is Scotland. The entertainers are Irish but the song comes from Scotland. It would sound terrific with the pipes. Bob Johnson

  • Bob, I assumed it to be Scotish too. The first time I heard it was on Highland Cathedral-CD by the Pipes and Drums/Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - beautiful if you like Pipes. Credits seem to go to Francis McPeak of Belfast.

    What did you find?

  • I did not do further looking GPS1356. Are you sure that Francis McPeak wrote the song? And is from Belfast. That would certainly make it Irish origin, obviously. Right now I am riding my bicycle down the east coast of the US, the ride is called Ride for Independents dot com. Perhaps you would take a look and send it along to your friends for a look see.
