My guess would be either order of tunes or notes on the arrangements she
used with the San Jose Symphony. Or, possibly, notes on her between-song
patter. At any rate, she's in her 70's and still a fine performer, so I
think we could give her a pass on whatever memory aid it was.
BTW, the SJ Symphony harpist (who was in the orchestra for the "Candide" I
was in) tells me that she's wonderful to work with!
