TTowntenor, Quite interesting you don't like NuTech or SGB. Very interesting, what is in your books or did you just chime in with your opine? I do remember when I put books together with manufacturer, title disk id and number plus track number. People spent more time looking at books than singing, of course I had 4 inch binders at the time to create the ulitimate book with all the information in them. But then I do ask what version my singers want. I have up to this time put numbers in my books, very legibly and quess what? Going by title or artist is the best way to go. I've seen books with more info in them also, and have been asked for a specific disc brand for different songs. I oblige if I can. I have one lady that sings Folsom Prison Blues, wants Music Maestro, I don't care for it but then she does. Putting together books with all the titles such as Folsom Prison Blues would add a quite a few pages to my books, as I have it on MM, NuTech, its clone SAVA, SGB, CB, SC, ASK, Essential, Karaoke Bay, Hotline, Pioneer, Dangerous ect. All my books have double col, #11 font, and are very neat and uncluttered. Most often I get compliments on their construction even by fellow KJs. My equiptment, includes dual cabsfor speakers, 1200 watt peavey mixer amps, singer monitors, peavey dual opposed subwoofers, carts with my equiptment built in, including a 22inch TV facing the audience. When I set up a show, it includes $1000 worth of lighting. I do this because I can. I can go bar hopping anytime I want and be critical of others but I don't. Some of the local KJs around here have sought my advice and skills. I give it willingly. I do hope I'm not coming across too critical, it is not my intent. Just trying to help you understand what some of us do for singers coming into places we work. We share our experience and hope to help others.
