Re: Handling diatonics on stage, etc.



  I do like Charlie Musselwhite and put my breifcase on a barstool.  It may
block the drummers line of site tho... In this manner, I can also put my
'cheat sheet lyric' note book braced up instead of a music stand.   You
can't see it from the audience.
 Helps to see the lyrics once in a while.
