Gary ... Someone should have taught your friend 3 things:
1. NO ONE needs "8 huge looseleaf binders" on a gig;

2. He should have set up all his songs by genre - Ballads, swing, country, Latin, etc. ;

3. And within those genres, the songs should have been filed alphabetically.

Then it might have then taken him 30 seconds to find a song - which might be too long if people are waiting on a dance floor, but at least he might have still been working ...


Or memorize the songs and lyrics...just sayin' cool2
