This page is supplementary to
BandAbbreviations. Use this to comment on individual band abbreviations when necessary. For each band discussed below, there should be a corresponding link in the last column of the
BandAbbreviations table. Put bands in their alphabetical order below (as on table) and mark sections off with 4 dashes.
Alan Hertz & Friends -
ShnDatabase had ah&f up to 10/2004 but that is a poor idea. The & character may cause problems for some people. 1 show in circ (5/20/01) may be labelled ahp for Alan Hertz Project but the name has been consolidated in the db with the many Friends gigs.
Bruce Hornsby - Avoid using
bh because of the ambiguity with Ben Harper. Perhaps
bruce or
hornsby are better choices.
Keller Williams w/ String Cheese Incident - The
Keller Williams w- String Cheese Incident "abbreviation" in the
ShnDatabase is probably just a mistake to be corrected.
Phil Lesh and Friends - Avoid
p&f and
p+f since they have special characters that may give some setups trouble during file downloads. Avoid
pf because of ambiguity with Pink Floyd- although Pink Floyd is not etree-friendly, shns have been spotted "in the wild".
Seth Yacovone Band - The
Seth Yacovone Band "abbreviation" in the
ShnDatabase is probably just a mistake to be corrected. Note that the abbreviation sy is commonly used for the trader friendly band Sonic Youth too.
