How Big is it?

[madjim- with the Lord]

One place I work for three hours from midnight till 3AM gets eighty to one hundred folks in it. I only put a singer on my list once. They put in their next song after they sing the one that is on the list, this keeps my list fair. The folks that get their early and stay late will get to sing twice if the crowd isn't too big. The wait is 1 1/2 hours on average. Here, twenty to thirty folks on the list all night is average. On a real busy night every body will get to sing once. These nights the list goes up to forty or better.

Other smaller places the list stays from ten to fifteen folks. They rotate out fast and get to sing more songs through the night.

What the singer wants depends on where they sing with me. If they like siging in front of a large crowd they come to the late club and sing once, maybe twice if they are lucky. If they like to sing a bunch, they come to the smaller clubs. Some folks come out for both.

I find that every club is different.
