The other side of that coin is a songwriter who does not consider himself a musician, does not sing that well but uses an Arranger Keyboard to help listeners understand the song's melody and lyric. Performing in public is not in my "wheelhouse."
Without the Arranger... I would not have been able to write, sing and record my little catalog of songs... now in excess of 1000 not including instrumentals and children's musicals.
I admire and envy those of you who "have all the talent and desire to perform." Some of you are so much better than you realize and if today's music scene were not already over-crowded... you would be house-hold names... and pretty darn wealthy.
This is a great place for songwriters to learn new tricks... hear some great performances and discover Arranger capabilities and rumors about new model Arrangers about to be released.
Thanks to all of you and especially Nigel for sharing with us.
