Hi, Janie,
I found people in my session years ago with whom I could perform on our own. A fiddle player plays piano, too, so we performed for several years together doing Robert Burns suppers every January and wedding ceremonies, etc. My son grew up playing violin and then mandolin, which I turned into a band with friends from the session. If you find a song circle or session, you should be able to find accompanists. My first accompanist was my voice teacher who performed with me (piano) and knew my voice and phrasing very well. That was great!
Did you ever take those voice lessons that you got as a gift?

Alice
