LOL Les - if his hearing was that bad why come to a concert?

I use a crib sheet when I'm not quite sure of the words but do try to only glance down when really neccesary and, for the main part, do try to sing out to the audience. For me, it spoils the whole mood of a song to have someone stop part way through because they can't remember the next line, particularly when they labour the point and keep going over and over until they remember it, or go back and start the song again.

Woodsie - you ain't far wrong - I've been at a couple of clubs where they have someone like that and that really is taking the biscuit IMHO.
