I sing. I play oldtime music with my DH, mostly fiddle tunes. But I also sing unaccompanied (with no instruments, voice alone) Appalachian ballads from before 1940, some from the 1800's. They are usually very long (8 to 20 verses long or so) and they depict love, mayhem, gallantry, betrayal, stabbing, drowning, poisoning, and lots of other fun things! I can sing about 30 of them by heart. Music is not what i do for a living, but I do perform occasionally in public and at events.
