Thanks to everyone who responded to this!
My basic question was if I was reading the music wrong or if others have
taken creative license with the original music. The concept of having a
floting staff is new to me and reading this music is a little difficult.
I found a few more files of this song on the web and they all have a
sharp on the 15th or 17th note. (4th measure)

I couldn't see where the original had a sharp there. A few of you
agreed that there is no sharp in the original.
I took the time to write out the original (both parts) in Noteworthy
Composer and it does have a different "feel" to the music. Not better
or worse, just different.
Have a great weekend!
