What is the Hivemind?

[Crothian]

Just curious, Croth, what do you do for a living? I've checked you out under the link from your avatar/username, but I don't see a details section.

I'm in banking

Actually, I meant older than that. Like, one of my favorite songs is Sixteen Tons. Originally recorded, I believe, in the 40s, but the song was an older folk song.

well, on neither CD does it say anything about alternate copywrites to the songs like I've seen on other CDs that have covers....

You just collect interest on a very large account or do yo do stocks and bonds?

I don't do sales which is what stocks and bonds gets covers by, I'm in the internal finance department which means I shovel papers and account infoamtion. I'm just middle management, nothing exciting.

I'm not sure about all of the songs (because they make their own arrangements for everything, obviously), but...
Tempted was originally by Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook
Change In My Life is by Billy Straus
Why is by Josh Deutsch & Janna Allen
and Ellie My Love is by Keisuke Kawata.

I tried checking their site, but they only attribute the arranger.

No, the arrangements aren't property of the original writers.

I'm sure the pay is considerable though. And you seem to have enough freetime to spend some time here at the boards!

huh, I'd have figured they would have to credit the writer of the lyrics on the CD. Not that I know anything about copywrite law mind you, but I have seen other CDs do just that. So, when I looked at the CDs and didn't see that and never recongized their songs it never occured to me they were covers. THe only covers I have of theirs on mp3 are all modern hits like the 80's onward.

Oh, and I know that these are arrangements because I've heard the originals (you dont have all of these, it's from the In Concert CD -- the first one I ever heard):
I Am Your Man
Dancin' in the Streets
That's the Way
This Isn't Love
Pretty Woman
Stand By Me
Up On The Roof
Dock of the Bay
Zombie Jamboree
Keep on Smilin'
16 Tons
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress

Well, I wish the pay was actually more. And I have free time away from work as well as the ability to post from work. I do about 40 hours a week, never much more (banker hours rock now that I'm not in a branch) and I'm single. THe single and no kids part is really the culbrit for all the free time.
