Subject: How do you feel about cheat sheets?
What are your thoughts about using a stand for sheet music or lyrics on stage? It bothers me- It seems to me you're not ready to perform it unless you know it. There's a local bluegrass group that uses them- it seems unprofessional, somehow. And when it comes to folk music- it seems to me that if you pay attention to the story or theme you're not going to get too far lost. Although I do understand having the beginning words or notes of a song taped out of sight on your instrument. Obviously you don't want to run dry! But maybe I'm just being picky? Ebbie
