Donny...None taken.
When I say a guide, I guess what I mean is that I scope the room days before the gig, unless I know from experience that it's this kind of venue, or that kind of venue. Let's face it..."Misty"...ain't gonna go over to well in Bubba's Wingding DanceHall & Reptile Emporium.....just as "Here's a quarter..Call Someone who cares", wouldn't make it in Vancouver Hilton's Candlelight Room. So I prepare a guide for the night, along with a reserve (more of an emergency) list, let's face it, as you're playing, you can be looking ahead for the next 2 or 3 numbers, particularly if you want to lace them together, with some kind of instrumental piece. That's all I was getting at. Thanx for the constructive critique though.
35 years....hoooo eeeee, Gotcha beat by 3.
