Subject: RE: The shame in singing covers
Music is about art, expression, creativity, and a million other things but never about copying.

I wouldn't even say that, Mike. There are some copies that bring great joy to people. Ever been to the Matthew Street Festival (Now international music festival) in Liverpool? All tribute bands. How else would we get to see the Beatles or Buddy Holly live? The people that perform these tributes are artists in their own right and to decry them as being un-musical is, in my opinion, very unfair.

Cheers
