  • Midnight Special Songlist
    west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

  • Copyrighted Material
    c01.qxd 11/20/04 3:39 PM Page 11 PART ONE Art and Culture: Use Only as Directed Copyright and trademark law is an important tool in incubating new cre- ativity and building a culture. By giving creators a property right in their works, the law stimulates the development of all sorts of new works. What is not appreciated as much is how overly broad copyright and trademark laws can sabotage creative production. Artists necessarily must draw upon works of the past.They also must be able to modify and trans- form prior works and collaborate and share with fellow artists. Since copyrights and trademarks are essentially monopoly rights, the question thus becomes: How far should intellectual property protection extend? What is the proper balance? As the stories of Part One illustrate, the intended balance of copyright and trademark law has gotten seriously out of whack. The chief propo- nents of broader, longer, and stricter forms of protection are the various “content industries” that produce music, film, photographs, literature, journalism, and entertainment. They like broad legal protection for their works because it makes those works more valuable. Owning the copy- right on, say, a Beatles tune for an extra twenty years could easily be worth a fortune. Broader protection also privileges commodified works over “nonmarket”COPYRIGHTED creativity such as folk traditions,MATERIAL public dialogue, art, scholarship, and the works of online communities. It is a complicated business drawing the lines of protection properly. But the following stories show that appropriate limits for copyright and trademark protection have been transgressed time and again.
