How many song books to you bring to a show?

well here in Barneyland my selection is unmatched by anyone. When people ask me why there are dups I tell them because there are different maunfacturers of the same disc and I will pick out the best version for them. People many times will automatically pick sound choice for instance but because I know the difference I can many times call up a better version. My people appreciate that.

And there's a reason people use the bigger is better philosophy. By and large, it works. I have 5, 10 and 16 year accounts that still pack out.... and my venues are called on 3 or 4 times every week by people offering to undercut my price, so something's working.

I had a KJ do that to me one time and it ticked me off no end. I put up an SC version of a song where he had a bunch of dups. I get up to sing and up pops a laser disk version of the song. I immediately inquired about it and was told it was a "better" version. I responded that, that might be true but I was counting on the SC version and that's the one i'd like. He had to stop the show and hunt for the right disk.

That song may or may not have been a better version or it may have just been his opinion because he'd been playing it for years before the SC version came out. Either is irrelevant.

Around here I have a bunch of people that have to sing the version they have at home it even forced me to buy the sava discs that all suck in my opinion.

Sure there is none is LESS than four.


9category = "four or less".

I think that category has actually been used for those that are paperless.
