I know it's easy to confuse roles.. my great annoyance Is this thing on the Internet of saying for example, 'Old Dungarven Oak' by Daniel O' Donnell. Ok the recording is by him, but not the song. They blur the performer with the writer. It really infuriates me. It's not the artist at fault, and has nothing to do with songwriting credits. It's the way autobots and the Internet have devalued songwriters or often get it wrong where they put the artist and song together without mentioning the writers.   I can assure you that Daniel isn't credited with the song.. only Frank Hennessy. Though no doubt it'll have been nicked by someone here and there assuming that 'it's an old Irish folk song', when it's nothing of the kind!
