Hi All,
I am a westerner beginning shak player at an old age(white beard). When I
perform Native American style, I have been asked song titles, copyright info,
roylaty payment responsibility and similar so that the facility is not
responsible. I play my own songs so that I am not affected by these various laws, but
if I play a Honkyoku song a hundred years old, that someone else(or many) has
played and copy right protected on their recording, how do the copy right laws
regarding shak music affect me in a performance? If each plays the same song
close to the original, I assume that some where someone has copyrighted their
performance. How do I answer the facilities requirement not to play
copyrighted material. Is shak music different? When you play a Honkyoku enough to
make it your own, is it truely then your own music?
