Exactly!  Happened to me, also, so I just stopped making the list.  I
sometimes make one for a big concert, but go kind of loose even then, making
changes as I go.  I have an alphabetic list of all the songs we do within
eyesight to jog the memory. It can be seen at a glance, with no need to flip
through papers, etc.
