you always see kindergarten teachers at the front of the stage, wording the lyrics to the kids at Xmas assemblies and such
char, since you're always in the front seats, maybe besides recording setlists, you could take on an expanded role for GL?
i think GL uses some little notes along the floor with his setlists scribbles...i've seen the starting lyric of a few verses for certain tunes in the past...that's totally different than reading a prompter...somehow when you see newfolks reading from a prompter, somehow a bit of the truth and trust is lost...ultimately, i suppose a prompter could have the lyrics, the chords (capo position of course
), the song intro story, etc....instead of a small teleprompter, they could also project the words on the back wall of Massey... and we could all turn our necks and have a big singalong....not
btw, many keyboard players have an external 'box'...you sift through the menu and it lists all your tunes preprogrammed to what sounds and other effects (perhaps midi settings too) you've designated for each...we used to have to switch a bunch of oscillator knobs on synths between songs, agh...i suppose they could be programmed to switch to the right key if using the tranpose feature also...maybe my inital bad invention list is all backwards and the order needs to be flipped upsidedown
i suppose the extreme would be to just have GL sit on stage while we play his CD's over the PA...he could just take a Gordish bow after every tune...i'd still pay money for that...not good money, but money
