Thanks for all your comments so far. It's nice to have other opinions and sometimes learn something about myself into the bargain :-)

I can see why it would irk some - not least maybe the person who made the song - as much as sometimes it has irked me feeling I could not sing a song because I could not 'convert it'. It's nice to know that most folks are happy for a song to be sung as it is and by whom without reference. That bit has concerned me a while.

I'm out this evening but will catch up tomorrow. Hope you all have a good remainder to the day
