Thanks for your responses, Stilly River Stage, Leenia and Jeri. I'll get the dust off my mind and be back to as normal as I ever get.

Jeri: I wouldn't worry about a word or two. I have heard a couple of words in I Went Down To the River to Pray that are different than the words I sing. I sing Angel Band, which I'll post when I go back and read how to do a blue clicky, "Snowy" wings." I've heard recordings of it with a different word than "Snowy." "Snowy" is the way it was originally written. That and a nickle will get you a five cent cigar.

I have even changed a word on occasion on songs I wrote. That's six of one and a half a dozen of the other.

Some folks call it the "folk process." I call it forgetting.

Many years ago in a different galaxy I used to play fiddle. I was playing Forked Deer once, and apparently is typically played in a different key than I played it in. Someone came up to me after the concert, all irritated and said to me "You can't play Forked Deer in D (or whatever key I played it in." "I just did," I said.

Don't have a cow.

My dumb for not reading the prefixes.

Life is good. :-)
