Big Joe,
You need to re-read what Kurt posted and not take parts of it out of context, I would go into it in detail but it wouldn't make any difference to those who don't want to see!
I can give you water but I can't make you drink it, you can give me the koolaid but I refuse to drink it!:sqbiggrin:
Bob,
I have been doing this a long time and have watch the flucuations in the KJ market, just like in the Band and DJ markets sometimes you just have to hunker down and ride it out or spread out into other areas!
What got me into Djing in the begining was bands and band markets being unreliable, since I had the vast majority of equipment needed to DJ I expanded into that arena. When the disco clubs dried up in the early 80's karaoke was just hitting the market so we expanded into that as well! In the last 6 years I have stopped running sound for bands completely for several reasons, one my personal health (and hearing) two there have been many advances in equipment and many smaller bands are needing a sound man less and less, three I just got way beyond dealing with the prima donna BS!
But the one constant in all of this has been the ability to ride out the popularity waves in any aspect of this business, I am on the edge of retiring right now and am already in the process of selling and turning over the business to a long time employee! Personally I would like to see her make as good a run with it as I have and I feel that what Sound Choice is doing (the the other manus will be following suit) will have a positive impact on Karaoke industry and it's popularity will continue. If these actions mean that some of the mediocure host and pirates will leave the business then that is just another positive aspect to be considered!
I look at it like the tea party movement, some people are calling them a bunch of racist, some are calling them ignorant, many are saying that what they are doing is going to destroy politics as we know it (is that such a bad thing)! You can't make that omlete without breaking the eggs, slicing the mushrooms and dicing the onions and peppers, but in the end what you have is real good! While you and others may be looking at the SC supporters as the "tea party movement" disrupting and spoiling the status quo, we tend to look at it as taking back the industry and putting it back on the proper path!
Now until something new happens in this situation ie someone decides to actually backup the bluster and fight Sound Choice in court I see no point in my further participation in this discussion, I will continue my support for Sound Choice and their actions both morally and monetarily!
