Well.. now a crutch for BOTH arms? ;>) I do not look forward to an additional list of songs (a couple of thousand now?) where people complain..or even interrupt... to say "you're singing it wrong" as in Subject: RE: Rise Up Singing Book II From: dick greenhaus - PM Date: 15 Dec 12 - 11:43 AM or Subject: RE: Rise Up Singing Book II From: dick greenhaus - PM Date: 15 Dec 12 - 05:05 PM Ron Davies explained very well up in this thread how crib sheets **in general** are useful at times, but expecting everyone else to use the same crib sheet/book is not nice. I have not, like Barry Finn or Ron, walked out on a sing where The Book was used, but I cringe quietly. Fortunately, the FSGW Open Sing has only a couple who who use it. And the Getaway has only scattered occasions where it pops up.... and the Getaway has 3-7 other options at any one moment if one just cannot abide what is happening. I do understand that Vol. 2 has made more of an attempt to avoid the most egregious errors and to pay 'more' attention to traditional versions of songs, but I have little doubt that it will still be used as The Bible, Book II by many. I guess I'll just wait & see how it goes.
