This is very interesting! A singer who is not a ham! I guess you make great recordings, eh?
I have just the opposite feeling: I am much more comfortable being perceived as the whole artist -- it gives me the willies to be represented just by a tape, for instance, because I feel that that makes me special and interesting is my communicative gift.
