Uncle Dave, I really think you're just a HYPOCRITE blasting me & others because we may occasionally use chord charts or lyric sheets when performing, and now exploring the possiblity of the MusicPad Pro for not only this purpose, but for studio reheasal work too. I find having charts handy, not only convenient, but a neccesity to fulfill audience requests for songs which I may be familiar with, but just don't know the changes or all the lyrics to.

Yes Uncle Dave: we've discussed this MANY times before, and you 'ALREADY KNOW' that I concur (with you) that a successful stage show requires 'no music' on stage by the lead performer, but for those daily grind bread & butter bar-restaurant, nursing home gigs (where BOTH you and I work) of where the atsmosphere is a lot more relaxed & casual, relying on a fakebook or chord chart & lyrics now and then, or even MORE than less: is "NO BIG deal", and even lends to the folkiness of the affair.

Frankly Uncle Dave, I have to agree with Jim Eshleman (Pro), because I realize the ONLY REASON you decided to BRAG (yet again) about how you don't rely on music chart props (of which you now confess that you do ), is because you just wanted to RAIN on my parade about the MusicPad Pro.

I'd don't normally bother to respond to your often frequent tactics to comment on topic threads which really don't bear your interest other than an excuse for you to to distract the member's interest BACK on "YOU" again, but like the Pro, I think this time, this particular one warranted me voicing my feelings.

Scott
