Host-Inflicted Rotation Blues

[swany]

Bring in a lot of friends, let them know of the situation sit near her and talk loud and laugh loud as possible whenever she is singing. When she complains to you complain back loud enough for the whole bar to hear it. Have your list of complaints memorized. That people come in there to sing, not listen to the host sing all the time. Just tell her your in there to have fun, and spend money if she don't like that, you can spend your money elsewhere. When you leave with 10 - 15 people that gets attention. Early in the night I'll sing a lot when the rotation is small when it gets to 12 people, I drop out of the rotation and just host, of course on the occasion I get asked to do a duet, that is the only song I sing in that rotation. I do get requests also, which I will do but tell the people that it is their turn when the rotation is large.
