I have to caution students (I do music clinics, among other things) about playing onstage with mics.
Yep, RIAA shut things down already...
At church the music director never seems to have faith in me turning on his mic so EVERY TIME he walks up to a mic he has to whack it to make sure it's working. Drives me nuts. Of course I've only been going to this church for 4 years so maybe he's just getting used to me.
We also have a slew of people who won't grab a vocal mic when they sing. They walk up to the podium. I've tried to explain that it sounds bad, overloads easily, and they keep fiddling with positioning which is easily audible but I'm not making an impression. Except for one woman who has a powerful voice and always overloads the mic. I told her that if she sings at the podium I won't turn it on. She's been good lately. :thmbsp:

Something interesting I noticed about that too.... that clip had been up for a month... then it gets posted here, and it's gone in a day... :scratch2:
What a MAJOR a-hole!
I would tell him in a powerful and commanding 'voice of God' style "HE ASKED YOU TO STOP HITTING THE MIC!" over the PA just before he hits it. That might just embarrass him enough to actually stop doing it anymore.

Or, turn it off after he hits it, and tell everyone he broke the mic after you told him a million times to stop hitting it, so he should pay the church for a new one.

Now if I could just find the song "I am the Walrus" split up like this I could finally figure out the Lyrics to it. :scratch2:

Seriously?
I made it a point to learn them after John Lennon died.
I can't recite them from memory, but I can tell what they are now when I listen to it.
I remember writing o-e-a in the dust in the tractor cab to remember the Ho Ho Ho He He He Ha Ha Ha part!

PM me. I happened to pull the Flash video off YouTube with Download Helper (a handy Firefox plug-in) but need to find time to convert it to a more standard AVI format.Pulled off u-tube by the F-ing RIAA!
How else can I see this?
Thanks!
