Subject: RE: I Wrote that Traditional Song
Jim, I agree with you to a point, one of the songs in question was " Come by the Hills", I happen to think it is a super song but even with repeating the first verse was still a little short, also the fact that most people repeat the first verse led me to believe that it MAY or MAY NOT be more finished with an additional verse ?. so I added another. It's a judgement call whether the extra verse really puts the finishing touch to it or not.

BTW, I don't make it a habit of adding verses, just on the very rare occasion, I always felt it was a bit unethical but acceptable provided I don't claim the whole piece, and gave credit where credit was due.
