Jerry Lee Lewis - Boogie Woogie Country Girl [Hidden Content]

Hmmm, not too sure about that at all - largest affordable USB sticks even right now are 512GB. I remember struggling with 2 large plastic boxes filled with disc folders, and those '400-disc' folders which burst at the seams when less than three quarters full, and before that my 55 Laser discs and two Pioneer laserdisc players which were temperamental as hell and had to be treated very carefully. And I remember the local karaoke shops charging an absolute fortune for the American discs. And paying exhorbitant prices for Plextor or Yamaha drives to write the discs with, and then only at 1X speed with nothing else happening on the computer. But I also remember the heyday of £350 gigs and not backing down on the price. And then I remember when it became so much easier to copy discs, and every mobile disco in the land had the same 60 or 70 discs and called themselves 'karaoke/discos' - with one mic that both they and the singers used - and no echo or reverb. And every local singer on the circuit doing the same, and monopolising the night, giving other singers very short shift. And then the price collapse when all of the previously-mentioned undercut our prices - I mean, if you're a pub landlord then a karaoke is a karaoke innit?? They're all the same quality ain't they?? An' no they couldn't understand why karaoke nights weren't packing them in any more. An' so what if the karaoke played disco most of the night and had their girlfriend and/or best mates singing half the time. Yep, the good ole bad ole days
