With respect Dick, that doesn't answer the question. I'm not interested in bad accompaniment. I'm not interested in bad tune playing. And I'm not interested in the support that good tune playing can give to bad accompaniment and I'm not interested in the support that good accompanying can give to poor tune playing I reiterate. Do you think that the fiddle playing I linked to above could be "lifted" by accompaniment? What a lot of us are saying is that yes, as a general statement, accompanists can lift music. Except for certain circumstances. Can you not agree with this?
