GUEST,Teefy What's in a tune or even a pub name? (24) RE: What's in a tune or even a pub name? 02 Dec 21


Since the thread title also talks about song names, it made me think about that some. Given that, for folk songs, there is sometimes no definitive title, and when there is one, popular songs can come to be known by many names, I would be pretty fine with choosing to change the name of a song. Of course, from an archival standpoint, all names in use, even genuinely offensive ones, should be noted. But calling out a different name when performing or putting a different name in the liner notes seems entirely harmless, as it would not replace the old name.
