But when you're singing in a session with folks who are limited to D or G, they don't always appreciate you wanting to sing in Ab or F#: but sometimes I just have to cos I can't do justice otherwise.

Oddly enough, I was at an Elvis evening a month or two back (don't ask... but it was great fun!) and was convinced I needed to sing One Night With You in C; but the band did it in E and it was great! Something to do with the live situation, the adrenalin... I hit those big notes in a way I wouldn't dare to have attempted at home!
