I would add that a karaoke guy is not a bad person...just not a real musician.



Hmm, so here I am, after years of playing guitar and singing in different bands, having had years of vocal coaching, writing, playing and recording my own music, making my own backingtracks if there are no good ones available. You see me in a bar performing just singing with backingtracks. And immediately you can tell I'm not a musician? Wow!

Well, in that case I may no longer be a musician; I do earn my living doing it



Mike please note that my post states "the ones I've run into", I am not saying all are not musicians, however it is a perspective thing man. With that said I'd be willing to bet when most musicians see someone performing karaoke minus any live instrumentation they do not think of him/her as a fellow musician. I know, a jump to a conclusion, but that is what most humans do.

But your response does lead me to another question and that is why don't you play guitar as well as singing to your backing tracks as that would IMHO separate you from the dj's who are in fact just spinning cd's?

Not trying to rain on your gig man, this is just a personal observation derrived from seeing dj's that are hired in my neck of the woods on a day to day basis.

Happy New Year!
