Covering attribute
Having the rightful capillary is important. I am now trying to calculate what is the difference for musician between acting in a cover band or a tribute band. Remember most musicians perform covers of tunes written and performed by other people. Those in a tribute band tried to be more specific. They choose an artist and then they perform cover tunes of the music by that artist in part to mimic the original sound and at the outset to act as a tribute to the artist involved. I am truly not talking about something I know anything about. All of the music I performed in my earlier life came from sheets of tunes that had been written and performed by others. Sometimes centuries before my birth. At no point today go onstage and pretend that I was being as good and see original artist. My effort may have been attribute but I can assure you that handle or Beethoven never heard about my efforts. I guess that’s the point of this. In all comes down to history and where you sit on a continual timeline. If you are laying on your bag with guitar strumming a tune you are rarely performing either a cover or attribute. As my friend would say you’re simply noodling which has nothing to do with food. And anytime I have taken a recorder and played something that I felt really good about I was noodling in my own way. As you can guess I rarely have any exposure to live music. I live too far from the road as they used to say.
