<<<The bass player in our big band devised his own private MusicPad Pro out
of an old laptop (the guy has his own electronics firm as a day job). All
of his music, and we have a LARGE book, is scanned in and stored there. On
the gig he does not need a stand light, either, since the screen provides
its own illumination. With his numeric keypad he can pull up tunes much
faster than the rest of us with our old-fashioned paper charts. He is happy
with it.>>>

This could be a really cool thing, I think. How does he turn pages - tap
the space bar?

Further:

<<<If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!>>>

. . . or your sax player needs to get a Beechler . . .
