Thread Name: unaccompanied and accompanied singing
Subject: RE: unaccompanied and accompanied singing
Gracious apology accepted - thanks!
For me the stats are the other way around in that 90 per cent of my live musical experience has been unaccompanied singing or instrumental. Recorded is a different matter - excluding classical music and rock/pop, I'd say maybe 25 per cent of what I've heard has been accompanied.
As for unaccompanied stuff outside the folk world - it is rare, particularly solo stuff.
