Reply To: Live Band Karaoke Question
No one explicitly requested a key change, but the band seemed happy to transpose mid-song into the key that one singer thought he or she was in — I’m sure they’d be even happier with advance warning 🙂 As Roderick reminded us, those guys were working hard.
(That said, a lot of the songs in live band karaoke were staples of the live set list anyway, so they’d have rehearsed those in a specific key. The trouble also seems to be that you don’t have a chance to hear back from the band about whether or not they’d be able to accommodate any requests — there’s a sign-up sheet, and sometime later you get called up, and that’s about it.)
