Subject: RE: Tech: using tablet on stage
I've noticed this trend with the younger element who come to our open mike nights. They have the special holder which clips to the mike stand as well. When I go to Greece I put about 60 songs on my kindle from my own lyrics database as the repertoire Yorgos leads in the taverna is more pop based than my blues/skiffle one, if he's sung a song I don't know I look up the words for the following year- inevitably he's then changed his set! Then it's the kazoo or nothing.
I am often surprised that teenagers who've only written a few songs still need to have their own words in front of them.
(Cynically this old grouch would say they are unmemorable, that's why!)
