We all do try to take turns and if the next slot comes up and no one takes it, anyone with a mic jumps in. As Jon said, sometimes Mbo has jumped in simply because no one else could or was ready to; all you have to do is speak up.

It also helps if people who have mics and want to use them, will change their name in there to reflect that as in "Mbo got sound" or Alison w/ mic."

I sang Hobo's Lullaby; the Prairie Lullaby; and read my granddad's poem "Salt Ground Eight."
