Mind you, South Florida Legal Community, one of the most popular fundraisers of the year – “Dade Legal Aid Annual Battle of the Legal Bands” – is just around the corner. Ribbons varied from small collar collars and necklaces to pointed lace bands, depending on fashion, until the mid-seventeenth century, when simple white ribbons became the immutable couliers of all judges, serjeants, lawyers, students, clergymen and academics. [e] I see and understand some of the issues raised. Like logos, fonts, band names, and images that can indicate that the real artist is playing. But there is also a creative aspect that, in some cases, is flattering. Especially when there is a connection, like a tribute to the Beatles called the Fab 4, or a tribute to the Rolling Stones called the Stones Rolling. This gives the audience a sense of illusion, which is very important for those who may never see or see the real artist. Personally, I can only see tribute groups that help a real band career. and since they usually reach an audience that only radio or television can reach. I myself am in a few tribute groups. I see and feel the joy of playing. It`s a great way to celebrate music and have a good time. and keep the music alive as it deserves for fans and musicians alike.
Without our tribute bands, many fans would have to settle for TV or radio. And although it may be correct. It just can`t party all night or every day like a live tribute band! Let`s hope the tribute groups remain legal. without them. A lot of fans would never know what it`s like to see a live show and that would be a shame. My pleasure Scott! And contrary to some comments here, I didn`t mean to insult this article. I like tribute bands all the time. Keep rocking`.
Bands were adopted in England for legal, official, ecclesiastical and academic purposes in the mid-seventeenth century. They varied from those worn by priests (very long, made of burgl or linen, and reached on the chest), to much shorter ecclesiastical bands of black gauze with a white hem on the outside. Both were developments of the amateur necklaces of the seventeenth century. [3] I played in a Journey tribute band (under the name Jonathan Cain); Travel`s lawyer requested 26 changes to our website. He watched our video and said he was there for about 10 minutes before realizing he didn`t see the real thing. I enjoyed the few decently paid gigs we played, but I never felt any real satisfaction from being an imitation band. But I am a composer myself; A lot of really good musicians are just looking for a concert, a concert. As long as a tribute doesn`t mislead the audience, the original act doesn`t hurt as much because tribute bands can`t sell CDs.
Anyway; I`m done. legal or not. That`s interesting. I love watching tribute bands just because the original isn`t playing near me or the band is gone. I think it`s a bad form that it should stop just so that “some” can make more money. I`m a musician and I`ve played songs by other artists. I wrote to the artist and they gave me permission to play them in public. It didn`t cost me anything. However, I did not try to imitate their appearance. I just wanted to play the songs and they were happy with that. Beginning in the eighteenth century, judges and queen`s advisors wore upper jabots to courts and for some time.
Bands are now worn by judges, Queen`s Counsel, lawyers, lawyers and court officials, and ceremonial/formal dress by some civil servants, university officials and, less often, by graduates (e.g. they are compulsory for male Cambridge graduates and optional for women). These are part of the complete robe of district judges, judges of the Court of Appeal and the Lord Chief Justice. [h] Mourning ribbons, which have a double fold in the center of each wing or tongue, are still used by some lawyers, clergy and civil servants. Just comment Brent. The question arises: does the legality of the tribute law depend on whether the original act is still active or not? Artists are still worth a lot of dollars when they are no longer alive (often sad), so the economic factor is still very relevant. Ribbons are two strips of bleached Holland[f] or similar material that fall from the front of the collar. Simple linen “falling ribbons”, made from the falling collar, replaced the collar around 1640. [g] In 1650 they were universal. Originally in the form of a wide collar tied at the front with lace, in the 1680s they had been reduced to the traditional shape of two rectangles of linen tied at the throat. Until about 1950, day shirts, with the exception of short-sleeved, open-collared sportswear, always had a long sleeve with cuffs closed by ties or buttons, and with a neckband with a separate collar attached by rivets, or a collar attached. The attached collar is now dominant.
[14] The result is that ribbons are rarely used by graduates who prefer contemporary collar and tie. Falling ribbons, worn in the years 1540 to 1670, could take three forms. First, a small inverted collar made of a high collar, with an inverted or pyramidal V spread under the chin and tied by ropes, sometimes visible but usually hidden. [j] They were plain or edged with lace. These were popular from 1590 to 1605, especially in military or Puritan circles, and reappeared in 1620-1650 when they were generally larger. Second, they could take the form of a wide collar that extends horizontally from side to side on the shoulder, with the band strings as before. These were popular from the 1630s to the 1640s. Thirdly, a deep, square-cut, wide collar or bib on the chest, the front edges meet edge to flat edge, or with an inverted box fold. The corners were square or frequently rounded after 1660. Wide lace borders were common. With tape strings as before, these were popular in the 1640s to 1670s. [9] [Page needed] Hi Deborah.
I googled something and found some studies. As I note in the article, these numbers vary widely. And many friends in cover bands earn about $2000/night divided by 4 members. But I know that there is no standard and that things vary greatly. No cover band I know only makes $100/night, but if your friends do that, that`s a shame! But to be fair, as I noted, the spectrum is quite broad and the numbers vary greatly from band to band and city to city. And the purpose of my article is not “we should start pursuing tribute groups”, it`s quite the opposite. I explain how to legalize a tribute group. They seem to have missed the point. In the early sixteenth century, the bands designated the shirt collar under a collar. For the rest of the century, when necknecks were still worn, and in the seventeenth century, ribbons designated all variations of this neck.
All ribbons or necklaces were created from a standing neckband of different heights. They were tied to the throat with ribbon threads that ended in tiny tassels or hook-covered balls. Later, I became a Buddy Holly and toured with ALOT, so much so that it became my career, with a few Beatles gigs in the mix. This is where MY personal legal problem arose. Yes, Holly tragically passed away in 1959, so you`d think there would be no financial or other damage to the show. FALSE. I have received two separate letters. One letter referred to the similarity. Buddy`s image is a registered trademark (I didn`t know you could protect an image, but I now know you can). We reached an agreement and we reached an agreement without paying any money.
I had to make sure that the word TRIBUTE TO appeared on all advertisements. So I have to look exactly like Buddy in my shows and commercials. I also can`t play as a “buddy” in Lubbock, TX (a deal between widow Maria Elaina Holley, local venues, and the museum that prevents tributes to Buddy Holly from performing in costumes). As I myself am in a few tribute bands (a tribute to Green Day and Chili Peppers), my opinion could be biased, the two band names are a play on words. Green Dookie and The Red Hot Chili Peckers. Unlike some names that refer to abbreviations such as A.B.B.A. I think it`s safe to say that nobody thought we were trying to pass off our gigs as the real bands.
