Apology for this OT. This list seems to be the best place I can get the best answer for this.
My trio's CD is in process. The group name is "Hiro Honshuku and A-NO- NE Trio". The publisher came back and asking to put "THE" in front of A- NO-NE Trio. I understand it sounds more natural to native English speaker, but I always thought it doesn't make sense. You say The Boston University because Boston and University are not specific enough, but you don't say The Harvard University because Harvard is specific. Same with The New England Conservatory. When they abbreviate, NEC, they don't say The HEC because NEC is specific enough (sorta - once I got a call for a gig. The person said he was referred me through NEC, and I thought NEC as in Nihon Electric Company instead!). So, why do I need "The" for A-NO-NE Trio? I am not really in a position to argue with the publisher, but I just wanted to understand this. Another question. What is the publisher sign, (P) next to (C) in front of the name of the publisher name on commercial CDs mean? Thanks in advance. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
