Troy Carter was faced with three touring options for Gaga after Kanye West officially withdrew from the already confirmed Fame Kills Tour (Elberse and Christensen 12).

This discussion focuses on a difficult area of contract law: verbal contracts and agreements. Verbal contracts and agreements are notoriously difficult because they do not rely on anything written: they are entirely the product of spoken interactions, and thus, they are subject to the memory of the individual parties (Beale et al. 2010). In this hypothetical, Simon offers to pay each band member £250,000; ostensibly, this payment is not the issue that is contentious, as each band member did indeed receive this money after completing the concert. Although the case study is not clear, it seems that this ...

I have long enjoyed many different types of music, but I would say that this was one of the ...

Hanover Baroque Trio Concert

I attended a small ensemble concert that was hosted by the music department in the fine arts building at the college, which featured an all instrumental Trio Sonata.

It has been 16 years, since that incredible shame of mine she witnessed. All this years I have been dreaming of a day I would show her I do not need to ...
