Do't be stupid Dick - I raised the album to indicate examples of songs composed by farmers were concerned - not to tell everybody what a wonderful performer (or anything) I was - unlike you.
Why not try to balance tour accompaniment on your clips so you don't drown out your singing - you might be able to manage it with a bit of practice.
Mind you, thinking about it....... don't bother, it's probably better that way
