Yes I agree Dick ~ I sing as I speak simply because you are story telling and many people respond to word of mouth and language received rather than the intrusive tunes which can detract from the listening to the evolving story

Added to, Of which I do not play an instrument for which I ever learnt to play chords

Any accompaniment should be to help key and rhythm I understand ~ there are some brilliant players who do help with very good dual presentation of course
