Thread Name: Changing the words
Subject: RE: Changing the words
That's a great story, Betsy. Many years ago, I received a phone call from Sally Rogers. She had written an additional verse to a song she learned from a tape of mine, Levi Kelly. She wanted to know where I got the song, and was a little non-plussed when I told her that I had written it. She was afraid that I'd be offended. I told her I had no problem with her singing the additional verse, but would only ask that she would acknowledge that she was the one who wrote it, and that the rest of the song I had written.

Changes happen.

Awright awread... I'ze ony a folk singer... so it shoulda bin "Changing." That' why we have folks like Joe. :-)
