Discussion #1

For our first discussion, Consider these videos you just watched.  We have an old song, transformed into a new version.  In this case , it is actually the original artist singing his own song, but with different instruments and in  a different style. 

Using Youtube, Do some searching around and find and example of a song that has been transformed or arranged into a new style. 

In the discussion, post:

1. Your Original Song ( With a Link)
2.  Your new version of the song ( with link - doesn't have to be the same artist !)
3.  Tell us the difference between the two versions
4. Give an opinion on which version you like best !

**** Strive to find a new version of the song that is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the original so you have lots of differences to point out !
******* This should be complete in the 'Discussion #1' on Canvas
