Thread Name: Changing words to a copyrighted song??
Subject: RE: Changing words to a copyrighted song??
Well Charley and I have worked together making subtle changes to "The King Of Maine". I am not comfortable changing the author's words but in this case the story was fantastic but the lines would not scan . I hope that changes made in order to make a song singable would meet with author
consent. No changes were made to either the story or content. No claim is made by me and if I sing the song I always credit the author, but sometimes you have to change a word or two or leave a great story untold.
