Guest singers on my gig? Not if I can help it. They might sound better than me. And many have.

Private house parties, family reunions and the like...no problem. Those kind of jobs tend to be "Loosey-Goosey" from the get go.

It would be nice, however, if they asked before just jumping in. Over the years I've had a few liquored up jerks just grab my mic and start belting. At a recent house party a fella came up while I was singing and told me he was going to be my "back-up" singer. With that he positioned his face next to my left ear and started bellowing. I had to bite my lip from going off on him.

Its not much of a problem when on a stage...but performing at floor level seems to be more inviting than some can stand.
