I’ll give you an ‘A’ for posting, but not an ‘A+’ for plagiarism!...............
Whah? I Dindu Nuffin.
It was Dem Berklee Boyz! :-)
thinking about the Fake Book Controversy further...
The Music publishing industry was not printing the mountains of sheet music anymore that represented the composers of the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. So most of the Jazz Standards in the Original Illegal Fake Books were not available.
The original Illegal fake Books always included the name of the composers at the top of the song, so they were giving credit to the songwriters, even though most of them had passed on.
The Publishers saw a gold mine in the making, and when they licensed and printed their own Legal Fake Books, the estates of these dead composers got royalties.
So the illegal fake books met a need at the time, and then stimulated the free market to manufacture and provide a product that has become a standard for the industry. I am willing to bet that music publishers make more from fake books than from individual sheet music copies.
But HERE’S the Punch Line...
By necessity, the Legal Fake Books had to simplify the chord changes to make the books palatable to the everyday musician. So they left off the chord extensions and substitutions that Jazz Musicians love.
So the pirates went to work again, this time with modern copiers, to produce a product that had the real difficult funky chords that Jazz Musicians love.
They called it:
“The REAL Book”.
And now the Big Publishers have one of those, too.
Assange is Hillary’s nemesis-
He certainly keeps her pissed
With samizdat copies of emails
That she claims do not exist
He keeps her waiting on pins-
The dropping of another shoe
Is what Hillary is in fear of
And nothing that she can do
Assange no doubt has guards
And enough deadman switches-
No Ft. Marcy park trip for him
Provided by Clinton’s bitches...
He dissed me for no good reason but omelet it slide.
