Sorry to be pedantic, but you can't blame Julie for that. Tommy Tycho arranged
'that' partricular version and for mine it is fantastic. Now if you are going to
get picky about it, Tommy even changed a lot of the chords.  No, he didn't mess
with the time signature. If you want, I'll ask Tom for a copy of his score.
(assuming he'll part with it, doubt it, but..)
