I am involved in this on-going discussion/argument with a friend about "Home in Dixie" opposed to "Home Sweet Home". He says that "Home in Dixie" is a completely different tune than "Home Sweet Home". As near as I can tell, the only differences are that he plays it in C, I play it in G; and he plays dobro/guitar and I play fiddle. Any answers/ideas?

Sorry, but maybe you could just compare the scores, transposed to the same key.

How hard is it to identify the similarities and differences between two tunes?

But I am not familiar with "Home in Dixie". So I can't provide you with the deep insightful and authoritative answer you want. I do apologize, Sorcha. ":>)
