Dear Emily,

I feel that I am at last on the side of angels in an issue here. Everyone agrees with me so far. And there by supports you. What you do to a song is up to you. I have long had opinnions on censorship and thought about it for years. As it aplys to literature and art in the publishing world mainly. But what you propose is a personal choice. Just as my wanting to hear you sing is a personal choice. That is clearly not censorship. But should someone tell you before you sing what you may and may not sing isn't necessarily censorship either. This would depend on your contract and the editorial policy of the concert promoter you have agreed to work for.

By the way, I find it interesting to note that my original post was editted before it showed up in the thread. Censorship? Maybe, but I doubt it. Violation of editorial content? Probably.

Nothing gray here in my mind. Any other thoughts? Bring em on.

Don
