Well, duellingbouzoukis and poppagator, you've hit the nail on the head for me. Sometimes, by the time I have learned a song (sometimes from midi, sometimes from memory) it would bear little resemblence to the version I was first inspired by, and then I live in fear of singing it in front of someone who really DOES care how or why it's sung, and that mine'll be all wrong.

Silly, isn't it? I'm not usually an insecure person, but there it is.
