That is the way I prefer to sing folk songs, especially the Irish songs that are meant to be expressive and unmetered. When I say sean nós here, even at the so called "Irish" session, most people don't know what I'm talking about. Oh, well, it's unfortunate, but in America, unless it's like a barbershop quartet or 4 part harmony street a capella, people expect instrumental accompaniment. I think the subtlety and sensitivity of solo unaccompanied singing is lost on audiences here. They are maybe overstimulated, so they can't hear the beauty of less being more.
