Errr, if you can't hit the note, why not just change the key? (or is that just a naive statement from someone who has practically zilch music theory?).

That Wetherley stuff was interesting, took me off on all sorts of tangents...... hence, does anyone have a link to an mp3/listenable file of Stonecracker John, whose lyrics were written by him? (tune by Eric Coates). It appears to be on some EC albums, but not to listen to.
