I couldn't agree more. Over the years I've managed to put on some awesome performances where I though the instrumentals were the best ever--no one ever said a word about them. BUT, when I have a great vocal performance, the accolades are non-stop.
Cheers,

I know many OMB's overhere in Holland that are very popular on paties and weddings... and they barely touch the keyboard (All midifile) but they are all great singers...
A friend of mine is still playing those parties and weddings with his drummer, because the drummer has an awesome singing voice, he makes less money/gig because he has to spil 50-50, but has more gigs over all. Above all he has much more fun because he can concentrate fully on playing the keys and thats where he excelss.
But in the end all the cheers and applaus go to his drummer.
