It happened again last night - second time this week that someone decided that they would sing with me. This elderly guy walked up on stage and said "I want to see your songlist so I can pick out some songs that I can sing with you". My reply was "no, I don't do that" and I took a break and left. Earlier in the week it was an elderly lady.

There are karaoke bars, open jam nights, and other local groups/bars that invite singers... there is no lack of places for this. I think that's what driving this - people really do assume that they can sing anywhere. I'm the exception rather than the rule I think. Fortunately management supports me 100% - another guy who plays where I do allows singers and word is that it always sucks and it always empties the seats.

I want to get a sign with a microphone and a red slash circle on it.
