Thread Name: Singing from books: Why?
Subject: RE: Singing from books: Why?
Here we go again with another go 'round of differing opinions. I'm one of the lucky ones in that I have at least 500 songs committed to memory. So, I dont look down on those who dont have that ability, because I know some very nice folks who cant do that. Does this mean they shouldn't be allowed to participate? Who is the egotist here, the book readers or the ones who can show off their memory? I know one very nice couple who use song books, but, if you want to hear them, you must go where they are, and, if you dont like books, you are free to not stay. A question, is it bad to use song books unless you are one of the Coppers?
