Thread Name: Is it permissible-to change a word in an old song?
Subject: RE: Is it permissible-to change a word in an old song?
Yes! in the song "Edward Hollander" (flying Cloud)I refuse to sing "we hauled those niggers up on deck" I sing "we hauled those negroes up on deck".
It has the same value in the song & should not offend.
Skipy - who has not had time to read the thread, but saw the title & posted, so if it has already been covered - sorry.
Too busy with prep. for white horse folk fest to do anything really!
