Probably 80 percent of the songs I do regularly I don't look at anything except the whites of their eyes, or other parts of their anatomies, depending on the visual excellence. Sometimes I pretend I'm looking at the keys because if I don't they think I'm not really playing.

Thanks DonM, you make me sin again.

You can lump me in with Manuel and Machetero. I'm purely an 'ear' player who can't read the dots. And I'm old school too, with a 2" binder with my lyrics. Familiar is good.
