User profile: The Unaccompanied Senior

Details:

I sing unaccompanied, in the traditional folk manner, from an eclectic repertoire of songs most folks have seldom heard before, if ever.

In addition to covers, I perform my own arrangements, settings and mashups, sometimes with extra or alternate lyrics I write myself. I sing all my songs from memory alone.

Most folks think of "a cappella" as part-singing by groups, so I reject that particular label, as well as that of "singer", which may also imply that I have bandmates.

Instead, I consider myself a "solo vocalist".
