Thirty five years ago I used to sing The Curagh Of Kildare & Boys Of Bedlam with a clear and unadulterated Greek accent. For money, too.

It didn't stop me then, it wouldn't stop me now. I love the traditional songs but not because the make me feel that "I am in that world" or even "of that world", like putting on clothes or a hat to pretend I am someone else.

I follow Martin's advice - I can't damage the song by singing it.
