gosh I love the mic cut feature on my mixer for just that reason. I'm a dad of two little girls, and when singers scream into the mic I cut it... and when they look at me I give them the "daddy look." Too funny how that works, and silly it seems... even on big men... "Oh, I'm sorry dude."

"No problem, just don't scream into the mic. Its not good for the system, and trust me, nobody wants to hear that. Cool?"

Works 95% of the time.

Screams - I turn the mic off and when they complain I tell them I don't have control over it. The system automatically shuts off the mic when someone screams at ear piercing levels.

It didn't bother me when this gal blaimed me. I'm so used to this kind of moronic reply from drunks. I take the stance that everything is my fault. If it makes people feel better because they feel embarrassed I don't mind taking the blaim. I joke with the regulars all the time that when something goes wrong it's my fault. Wrong song, wrong number, they can't sing the song - yep my fault, now let's get past that and try and fix the problem.

Lon - cool idea.
I've actually done something similiar where I have the audience yell out a number from off the top of their head. I like the random pointing in the book too. I never thought of having a small monetary prize at the end though. Good idea !

A singer blaming the KJ for their screwup is so common Babs. With me it happens mostly with guys. As in your case it probably happens mostly with women. It's a subliminal bias against your own sex. Unconscious competition.

However if someone other than a friend is struggling I usually just let them hang them self up there. Unless they ask me to, I stay out of it. It's got me in trouble when I've tried to help.
