In my teens I had dozens of songs memorized, now in my 50s I can't even remember what kinds of songs they were. There are a few that stayed with me, and a few new ones that I thought I had memorized, but put me in front of a few people to sing and my memory will be wiped clean. So I have a bunch of folders with printed songs on them as a main crutch. I also bought a tablet and loaded some apps and songs on, but it's just too much hassle dealing with scrolling and other technical issues. Also prefer the printed way, because I can scribble on notes and personal revisions, or exotic chord diagrams quickly (stuff that can be easily forgotten).
