Fear of change. Fear of the unknown.  Stage fright ....   ?   Heck, I 
don't know.  The underlying reasons for her ever changing " problems " 
with the sound are a mystery.

At this point I'm saying it's insecurity mixed with not wanting to let 
anyone else have control.  Distrust.


I found a nice article on the web written by some high end sound guy / 
recording engineer that talked about this stuff.  He basically hit 
every point I'm made, every problem we have.  From amature bands that 
want to fry the pa to singers that want to tell you how to eq the FOH.  
I sent band girl a link.  Risky, but still, she needs to learn.

I can't post that link now from this computer, but I will email it to 
you later. Read it or toss it ... your choice :-)
