Donny and others of the "chicken hat" persuasion:
Good luck with your Karaoke work. Just understand that there are lots of working folks who, for various reasons, don't want to have anything to do with it.
That's not a criticism of those who do it that way, it's just the way it is for some, including me. And some of us haven't starved or otherwise suffered from our "narrow mindedness". It's just a differrent approach and not one that should be criticized, in my opinion. What's right for any one individual is what works for them and what they can live with.
