I think we may be at cross purposes, Bryan. No, I wouldn't have binned Pop Maynards version as inferior. I would keep any versions of the same song that ARE different and ARE musicaly passable. I would NOT keep a 'version' of a song where it is obvious that it is the same version sung off-key and with forgotten words.

I think maybe you are lucky enough to see the 'music' in even poor performances. I can't. Or maybe I have decided after years of putting up with second best, that I no longer want to listen to it. I have no objection to anyone singing or playing badly. As long as they don't object to me standing at the bar when they do.

Cheers

Dave.
