[Garry A. Leslie]

Hello All,
Just a couple of thoughts.
First as far as lyrics are concerned, I think a lot of lyrics are transposed by people who don't have English as their first languge (I don't mean Americans he! he!)
Incidentally how good are lyrics in say, Spanish?
I often have a good chuckle over some of the more obvious errors.
Perhaps a few examples could be posted.
Being English I often buy CD's with tunes by artists unknown in the UK but hits in the US, just never made it this side of the pond.
So it's gratifying doing different versions of songs rather than sticking slavishly to the one original. I realise this is sacrilege to the Elvis or Frank singers.
I also think using a UK disc adds a different slant when sung in the US.
I love it when people ask about a certain artist or song they have never heard but which has been big in the US.
As I've said before as long as Karaoke is sung, everyone is going to have their favourites and hates.
Just as well we're not all the same.
Regards from across the pond,
Garry
