Poets work from books, that's O.K. Surgeons work using monitors, scopes and all sorts of assorted doo-flangers, that's O.K. Engineers used to use their slide rules and books, but now use an overworked laptop (Oo! Eer!,sounds a bit rude,that's O.K.) Air piloys use screens, meters, maps, charts,radar (assorted hostesses) and computers (I'm sure I wouldnt want them to try their hand at whatever, without their security-blankets)and that's O.K. I sing songs containing all the above charactors and I need my cheat sheets. Too many words, too many songs and too little memory installed within my head, for me to get through the hurdles I set myself. Also in this way I can always perform songs at a whim depending on the mood in the room, and thats O.K. So, reach for a cheat sheet, if it makes you complete.
