You are so right. We had a music stand that we would put the song lyrics on. Trouble was, back in those days, the patrons would get pie~eyed, drop the sheets, or too wasted to read the lyrics. It was a bundle of laughs. Needless to say, we never had a lot of singers. Like you stated, they had no idea when to start singing. It is so different today. When American Accompliment went out of the cassette tape karaoke business. I recall the general manager telling me how laser and CDGs would never survive. I bought all of his remaining stock. I purchased one of the early Microstudio and Karaoke Home Producer software. And i wrote many hours writing CDGs to those old cassettes. Got a treasure of music from those old cassettes. Some of my patrons when i tell them, that they are singing to a disc that came from a cassette, they are amazed. Some of the guys from the early American Accompliment outfit, went and help form Chartbuster. A few of them are still at chartbuster today.
