Just came across an anecdote from someone who ran a music shop in Inverness. Matt McGinn came in one day. To buy one of his own books, because he was about to do a gig there and had forgotten some of his own words.

At a festival couple of years ago. Band starts song intro. Singer goes talks to one band member. Crosses stage and talks to another. Comes back to the microphone and owns up that none of them can remember first line of self-penned song. Half the audience launches into song. All have a laugh then carry on. All folk together.

As I said. I think some people's rules and customs, as presented, ignore how real people's brains work.

Simple. Write those snooty money raking elitists a nice new song called Bookflipping Timewaster. And hand out some aongsheets so they can all join in the chorus. Makenitnlog and complex, and impossible to memorize.
