Hi All!
I've posted a couple of questions in the Technical Forum and got some great help.  Thought I'd better pop in here an introduce myself.  My name is Mike Barefield and I operate Klass Act Productions in Hampton Roads, Virginia.  I hope I'm not violating a rule by mentioning that my website is at 
http://www.klassactproductions.com.  I had my first karaoke gig in this area on March 14, 2008, and have been very well received.  I now have 5 regular weekly karaoke shows.  Karaoke is the bulk of my business and I absolutely love it - always have.  I've had the good fortune to also book several DJ gigs, including Weddings, Sweet 16s, Anniversary and Graduation parties, and I have contracts for 22 more such events.  I've actually grown a little faster than I wanted to, and I'm tired, but it's the best kind of tired!  I started hosting karaoke as a hobby in Ohio way back in the early 90's, but left the business for years.  It has taken me some time to get used to the new technology.  I am only now ripping my CDGs to hard drive - unbelievably boring.  I expect to be finished within 6 weeks.  With a karaoke gig 5 nights a week and a DJ gig nearly every Saturday, it's a very slow process.  I'm really looking forward to having it finished, though.  
Please feel free to drop a line and say hello.  I love this forum.  I've never asked for help and not received it in abundance.  Hopefully, one day, I will be in a position to offer help in return.  Until we talk, keep singin' and keep smilin'!
