Please, kill me now!!!

So it's just the four of us in the band. We feel
like our chemistry is good. The audience seems
entertained, the bar boss likes us, and everything
seems just peachy. :-)

Here's where the story goes south. Someone from
the audience comes up and says, "you guys are
great. If you would just add --insert song titles
here-- and let me sing them, you could really go
places!"

Mostly, I avoid getting into a real conversation
and thank them for their input. Usually bow out
by saying, "geez, my beer is almost empty. I
should get another--want one?" Either that or I
make a mad dash to the restroom--feigning
diarh...well, you get it.

Any good stories out there?

In our situation, they're normally so pi$$ed, the only places they are going to are either the porcelain microphone or the floor - whichever comes first. We are not inlcined to follow...or let them sing.

Of the 4 members, how many sing?
(Even if 2 seconds of harmony for one song.)

Of the 4 members, how many play an instrument?
(I'm presuming you don't have a lead singer.)
...........

As for responding to the 'approachee' ...

Say, "I'd love to HEAR YOU SING WITH YOUR BAND,
where are you playing"?

We have a singer and a harmony. Both are good
too. Mostly, it's a couple of ladies who think
they'd fit in. That's really not what we're going
for though.

It's kind of like they want to push their way in
instead of going on Craigslist like I did and
finding a band that they would fit into. The top
40 country house band thing just isn't where we
want to take this thing.

Wasn't as specific as I should've been...my bad.

I noticed that many female singers I've seen in the Baltimore area have either one good pitch, or they sing everything FLAT.
