Is this a substantial difference, or is it more nominal?

You are immediatly in the territory of harmonizing the Mixolydian scale.
It so happens that in western Music the C major scale is thought of as the most important scale, so we tend to
think of that as the main scale.
Probably because C major is easy to spell and it is just the white notes on the piano. For some reason we decided to start on the C. If we start on the A we are immediatly in Aolian mode or the natural minor.
Start on the G (again same white notes) and we are in Mixolydian.
So yes the song is in C. But C mixolydian rather than C major.
I'm really starting to think of modes as keys, rather than modes of a particular major scale.
