How to Locate songs in our Catalog

Because the search information needs to match the file information exactly, try typing as little as possible (ie. start with just the band name, like "ABBA" or "ADAMS, BRYAN" and see if you can locate the song that way). If the artist has hundrends of songs, it might be easier to search the title of the song.

#1. For a proper name (like
Bryan Adams) type the artist's
"Last name, First name"
If you can't find what you are looking for, check your spelling!

#2. For a band name or song title
"THE" is never placed at the
begining of an alphabetical
search.
Avoid using articles like
"The", "A" & "And"
The Beatles will be listed as "Beatles, The"

#3. One word Band names like Chicago may be found faster by typing "(BAND)" after the name
Same goes for a one word song title, try typing "(song)" after the title
[ie. "Something (Song)]".
This will yield 2 results...
#1 "Beatles, The - Something (Song)" and
#2 "Presley, Elvis - Something (Song)"

Typing just the word "Something" without adding (SONG) after it will yield 85 song results!

#4. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve Miller Band, Montgomery Gentry Band, Marshal Tucker Band etc.
These are band true names. The last name does NOT go first

#6. (EL) after a song title stands for explisit Lyrics and is never played at Legions or around children.



Karaoke Guidlines

Karaoke is a community of people who get together to have fun; to enjoy each other's company and love of music. These simple rules have been put in place so that everyone can have a good time and be treated fairly.


The biggest problem that karaoke hosts face is dealing with the people who want to sing more than others. To be fair to everyone, these are our policies...


#1. In case of venues that have a lot of singers who perform in groups, or perform in "Duets", each singer gets one turn in the song rotaion but it doesn't matter who they call up as backup singers. "Helpers" do not count as part of the rotation. However, the singer who's name in on the song request form, must submit their own request slip. This stops any singers from putting up songs without permission! Ask the host which rules apply at each venue.

For most venues, duets are rare and only occur once or twice nightly. These policies refer to these venues.
#2. Every singer gets one turn. However, a singer may ask for help from someone already in the singer's rotaion, if that "HELPER" has not sang twice in the singer's rotaion yet.
Once someone has sang twice in a rotation, they can't sing twice again.

#4. Anyone who comes up and grabs a mic (uninvited) will be ushered off stage.
Also, please be respectful & don't raise your voice to be heard over a singer who is performing.

#3. Anyone who resorts to physical violence or causes trouble for others, will be barred from singing



It's a good idea to follow these suggestions
