The one I'm happiest with is the Who's Who of Entertainment.
I don't know who nominated me for that, or for that matter any of them. But I'm flattered.
I bought the Who's Who in Entertainment and Who's Who in America books the first year I was included, but I haven't done so since. They just sit on my bookshelf gathering dust.
I know that a listing in Who's Who and a dollar will buy a cup of coffee, but I'm happy to be in there anyway.
Hey Mitch, yes, that's me, 6th one down. Robert Howard Norton, and no I'm not deceased yet -- I don't think. If I am, please let me know.

And I do think the public perception of doing karaoke tracks is that they sound too real, and therefore the musician(s) must not be playing them, while the MIDI tracks don't sound exactly like the recording, same arrangement but different voices, so the musicians must be playing them.
Other than the "editability" (is that a real word) of MIDI tracks, I think the fact that they do not sound quite like a recording is a big plus for gigging musicians.
Of course, that's my opinion and YMMV.

I can see why you liked DOS, Tim, but for a person with typos built into his fingers, it was frustrating (I even have Type O blood <grin>)
I played with a blind pianist/singer in the 70s. He went back to his native country, France, and became a big star. His name is Gilbert Montagne. We still keep in touch every few years.
My favorite Gilbert story. We got a gig in a bar in West Palm Beach, Florida and the daytime crowd was full of rednecks, country music on the Juke Box, fringe on their shirts, and big hats. Anyway, we go walking in. Gilbert is French and carries a shoulder bag (man - purse), he had long hair back when country folks didn't, wore sunglasses picked out by his wife (they came to points like a Far Side cartoon), and we walked in arm in arm because of course he couldn't see. The rednecks thought we were gay and wanted to beat us up. It took a lot of fast talking to convince them that Gilbert was both French and Blind and we didn't have a thing for each other. It all ended well. The rednecks went home at about 7 and the night crowd came in. Next day the rednecks said "Hi" to us and joked around with us as we walked in. All is well that ends well.
I have a night off today, and back to gigging tomorrow. I love gigging, but a day of rest is good, too.
We have a Marti Gras party this Saturday, so I'm learning a few more New Orleans songs. I just sequenced a Fats Domino treatment of "Jambalaya", a Dixieland arrangement of "When The Saints..." and next comes "Don't Mess With My Toot Toot." I'll use BiaB and MIDI styles as the core of each of these sequences. I used BiaB's harmony feature for the horn lines on "Jambalaya". The harmony feature is a real time saver. Play in the top note and let BiaB do all the 'mule work'. That's another feature I just love about BiaB.

If this is the issue Bob, I don't think it would be that difficult - for most reasonably well known tunes -
to find a karaoke version on the www that does not sound like exactly like the original.
Deezer, for example has upwards of 30 karaoke versions of Jambalaya.
After that, we all know how to use audio editor software.
Of course I am not condoning this or any other illegal practice.
Neither do I do it myself. I'm just saying it could be done.
