Hi Martin, > If the MC has to announce this to all, then could he not just as easily ask > those involved to change sides, and not bother the musicians with -- to > quote -- "unnatural second chords"? >From my experience as an MC, I'm lucky if 50% of the room is listening (unless I'm recapping, in which case I may get up to 70%...). At least the second chord is a clear distinct reminder which everyone notices (even if they're not ready for it).
