Hello Listers!

My choir director had us all purchase "The Black
Folder" (that's the actual name). I'm not sure if
you're familiar with it, but it does help to alleviate
some of the irritating folder shoulder. You don't have
to fight to keep the folder at a good angle or
supported, the folder does it for you. But, of course
you still have to hold your arm up for X minutes! If
only we could use cue cards...
