No one came out the womb with a collection of songs perfectly honed.If it gets you going use a crib sheet or two, but always remember learning a song is like learning to drive a car.Pass your test and you are learning to drive; learn the words and you are starting to learn the song.

What I canott accept are professional musicians( whoever they are) using books/ monitors/ crib sheets.This is an insult to the people who have paid to see them. Would you go and see a play and the actors read from the script?

Keep at it Chris, I always enjoy your company in singaround or drinkaround and we all realise and respect the amount of guts it takes to get up and sing for the first time - or any time - to a crowd of people. Respect my man, keep doing it and more to the point keep enjoying it!!!
