Sandy Paton Is Lyric Creep a Sin? (51* d) RE: Is Lyric Creep a Sin? 30 Aug 99


I very rarely change a text deliberately, but I'm often shocked to go back after singing a song "as I learned it" for about thirty or forty years to discover how often it diverges from my source. Some changes occur, of course, simply because they allow the song to sing more easily for me, others have occurred through faulty memory alone, or because I read music even more poorly than I proof-read my Mudcat contributions.

Mea culpa, but innocently!

Sandy
