I went to a show last week where the KJs book was listed alphabetically by first name first. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were both listed under the letter "T" for THE; as were many other groups. It certainly wasn't impossible to figure out but it was probably my least favorite way to search for songs. The guy didn't list any manufacturer codes either so I had to sing some nutech versions and some other versions that I had never seen before. I won't be going back to that place very often, if at all. I'm sure that his book and his issues with playing customer discs are two big reasons why he only had 4 people singing for most of the night. His idea of being helpful is to tell people that the song number that are higher are usually the better versions of the song.
I picked the higher numbers and got a bunch of crappy versions with incorrect lyrics. I think he was usiing some sort of CAVS software that didn't use manufacturer codes. I did get lucky a few times and caught a Sound Choice track every now and then. His version of "PICTURE" had all of the lyrics in the same color so the people singing the song didn't know whose turn it was to sing. Oh yeah. He played a dance set that no one danced to except for one song, one of those shuffle songs.
