Few would say it's impermissible, but I've heard plenty of comments about the fact that a song is a mandolin song while being played on banjo or what have you.

Dave - you're right. In one way is does improve the song. If people don't enjoy the song because they can't understand the message, what's the point?

As long as the original songs are archived and sung sometimes (I don't change very much - I perfer explanaion instead) it's a good thing.


Jody - I don't have a wife. Never figured out how to keep a lady around for longer than a few months. My friends celebrate the fact that I know a lot, but that I don't tend to run on in conversation.

I make my living as a historian and tour guide so I get a lot of chances to talk.
