Yeah. You will always get the stupid ignorant prats chipping in. Tell 'em to piss off.

Here's the thing. If I perform I perform. No crib etc. Now, relate that into going to a singaround and if you go regularly you soon repeat yourself.

I reckon on about 60 songs I feel I could entertain people with. Another hundred or so I can sing but wouldn't feel a paying audience would deserve. But there are also songs I don't recall all the words to or have a mental block with.

That's where the iPhone comes in for a glance before I get up and the iPad attached to the mic stand when I am learning and recording. (The iPad also remote-controls Logic Pro on the iMac.)

I am coming round to the idea of occasionally getting help with words in singarounds despite everything as it will give me an opportunity to share songs I love but not learning to be part of my "set".

That said, those who sit flicking through their ring binder whilst others are singing are still the spawn of Satan and will be first up against the wall come the glorious revolution.
