Recording in a Public Place

Okay, so on Friday nights I go to the Senior Center and sing Karaoke with all the people there. Yes. Yes.. I know.. WHAT you go WHERE on a FRIDAY NIGHT! well, that tells you just how exciting my life is. Anyway, there are many there who are great singers and could actually give shows or record music. Then there are those who can not hold a tone to save their souls. Some come for therapy such as the people who have had head injury or were in accidents. I see progress in each one of these people. I fall into the "wish I had a day job to say that I will not quit it for the music business" kind of voice. BUT I am entertaining when I sing. The last week they enjoyed "Sweet Transvestite" from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I have done several others such as "My Ding-a-ling" by Chuck Berry and "The Streak" by ... uh.. sheesh, mind blank here... anyway you get the idea. My energy seems to be what they enjoy not my voice. (Or maybe it is the cake I bring most of the time). I digress

I like to record those who like to be recorded and post them onto youtube so they have a video to send to their families that is updated showing them having a wonderful time. There is one women who does not want to be recorded. Myself and several others who do record have told her we will not record when she is singing. She turns her back to us when she sings.. (Believe me when I say that there is NO reason TO record her). She actually went up to the front desk and complained about recording. Now, I know a little about recording law. The facility has cameras in each room for security and monitoring purposes. It is a public facility. The majority has no problem or wants the recording. She is basically out of luck and I have the right to record what I wish. However, I am a bit considerate and do not want to cause her any undue stress as I believe she might be missing a few bricks in her load. Yet I want to do what I want to do!

I thought of posting a sign when I am recording that states "recording in progress, enter at your own risk" kind of thing, but again, is that too bold? Do I need to take her into consideration when making my decision to record another?

sheesh..
