Tam - very good luck to you mate - each to their own. I use a music stand and songsheets, mainly because I have to draw on anything up to 350/400 songs in order to keep the performance varied (I play the same venues on a regular basis). If I'm doing a one-off paid gig then I practice a couple of dozen songs so I can perform without the props, but as I posted earlier I have seen pro's use sheets + stand and turn in a brilliant performance (including the lady I referred to in my opening thread post.)

Enjoy the music Tam and don't take comments made on the forum too seriously or personally..
Cheers
