Subject: RE: blue books revisited (Rise Up Singing)
I don't own one but I wouldn't mind owning one, if I needed it to repair holes in my memory, or find the words to a song I was learning.

But that's the end of it. Why? Because the whole art is based on communicating by the singer to the listener, or between the singers to each other. If you put a bloody great solid book in the middle of that connection, you might as well stay home and Email the effing song. There's no life, no live and immediate communication, in an object no matter what color it is. Take it home to study, if you need, but for the love of god leave it there!
