Team notes:
Poor sound quality. This song is in response to Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair's "Fàilte na Mór-Thìr." Archie Dan MacLellan learned this song from his father. The end of the track contains a conversation with Flora Mae MacLellan about the quality and prolific repertoire of singers from previous generations.
