How many song books to you bring to a show?

I know around here they wouls ALL take both the title AND song books back to their seats.

I decided on artist only with a master copy for those who really know the song but NOT the artist, and this happens about twice a month (@6 gigs a week).

You would probably be surprised.

[bryant]

Be surprised at what. I know what they do around here.

Remember, I live here.

I've seen them take 4 books to a table with three sitting at the table and only one singing all night (and only one or two songs at that).

One singer - 4 books. Sounds like a candidate for a sign

You're right.. The other three are prolly saying "Hey, on page 25, sing this one...no wait, try this one on page 28...whatsa matter you ain't gotta book, go get one there's one left."

Ten, usually set out 6 or 7 and pass out the rest if needed. Saves on the cleaning, wear and tear and restocking slips and pencils.

Exactly Swany, I put out 5 or 6, hold a couple back if needed. makes good sense. One bar tonight I brought four, they are getting more and more predictable and paperless all the time.
