You get bored of one, play another till you're bored of that one. Some people around here have had to learn more songs in a week or so, and all it really takes is discipline. Good luck, and try not to let it get you down. |

I had the morning and early afternoon to "learn" 25 + songs. Also it was the first roots gig [old blues, folk, cowboy songs, ect] I ever played, hell, this was the fist time I seriously played this kind of stuff. I got through it............. and I guess I wasn't that bad, because he keeps hiring me every now and then.  |

i have one of those mini music stands that you clamp onto a mic stand and use 4x6 (i think maybe theyre 4x7) note cards with my final notes written in black marker - and i use a binder clip to keep my notes secure
usually i end up not needing them except for the most complex songs, but the process of really analyzing the songs helps a great deal
also - as long as you have recordings of the songs - listen to nothing else before the gig and listen to them often (i know, this could be painful depending upon the music  ) |
