As the Malcolm character in Jurrasic Park says, " Just because you can do something is no reason to go ahead and do it." or words that effect.

I am not questioning that some songs shouldn't be accompanied. I agree with that entirely. And to do an evening of early Welsh )or English, or Breton or___________) mid-winter carrols on the guitar and banjo would be possible but very not correct.

The bagpipe drone used as an underlying set of tones to sing against is very effective and very eerie. But isn't that chord? Neither minor nor major but a chord none the less?
