It's great working with no charts, but it's nice to have them handy for an emergency ...
Even Sinatra used monitors for the lyrics, and I'm not just talking about his later years ... I saw him a couple of times (the first time was at the old Cherry Hill Resort in NJ) .. the last time I saw him was in Providence ... great seats .. up front in a 'theater in the round' setting ... I could read the words on the monitor and even his lyrical "embellishments" were written in ...
