some people reckon they can. apparently Tony Hancock never learned his lines. Marlon Brando apparently never learned a single word of the script of Julius Caesar.

anyway, personally i wouldn't want to actually refuse someone who actually wished to perform with a cribsheet.

the strange thing is - i once went into this club and a bloke was singing from a kindle thing, that he had bought a special tray to attach to the mic stand. and he had rigged up a footswitch to turn the page of the kindle.

you can't help thinking -surely it would be easier to learn the bloody thing.
