Dave and others are absolutely right...no Kareoke when I'm on the bandstand, and only very carefully, preplanned participation by singers and other musicians.

I am sort of in the DJ business. My youngest son and I recently refurbished a 1956 22' Airstream trailor for use as a mobile DJ operation for car shows. There are at least 4 each week-end within a 50 mile radius during the summer.

We restore old cars, and show them at these events. The DJ plays music during the show and then announces contests, winners, the start of events, etc. My son handles all that. The events usually pay $500.00 a day (8 hours). I was able to use a lot of the old (way too heavy) sound equipment gathering dust.

I'm really not involved at the shows...it's just a project for Ben and I to work on together.

Hope that dosen't make me a sell-out. the income is GREAT!
