I'm sure you'll do it justice Dave: and everyone else present as it's a song that depends on a lot of harmony and intertwining of lines, which a solo voice cannot do on its own.
I take your point about not overdoing it, but it is also sad when people stop singing a good song because it was closely associated with someone who is unfortunately no longer with us. This has happened up here with a certain song: if any unsuspecting newcomer to the session should happen to sing it a sort of frisson goes round the room, even though the guy who used to sing it passed away around 15 years ago!
