The skip idea is a good one. I too have slips and songbooks by title and by artist, but where I play, the books are used very little and the slips I only see when it's a new person that's never sang with me before. I have a pad where I write everyones name as they walk in. They walk in the door and I ask them if they want to sing. If they do, I put them on my pad. All my normal customers know to give me the song when they come up and if they give it to me beforehand, I put it on the singers list and just skip them until it's their turn. What's great about Hoster is when someone comes up on their turn and gives you a song, you can access it very quickly, instead of trying to find a disc. Of course with the singers list, I know who is coming next, so i normally have the singers songlist up before they come up to me, so it's just a matter of scanning down the list and adding the song. Also, when the pad gets full, I keep it for posterity.
