As B.D. said, "...but I'll know my song well before I start singing."

I agree. I always felt that we owe that to our audience.

In the days when I was doing school shows, something that pissed me off to no end were the tyeachers that sat there and graded papers while I was minding their students for them. Twenty or even five eople thumbing through a book for the perfect song instead of hearing what is being sung right then, is almost as annoying.
