Having the piano/organ accompaniment I think is much better.
I have this book and others as well. I completely agree that I too have a hard time playing along with the CD. Just can't hear it that well. It seems when I turn it up loud enough for me to hear that its a little much for the audience. As I don't have the availability of an accompanist very often I often play them solo and they still work quite well. I play almost every week in church. It is a was to glorify God and the feedback has been that others are much appreciative. Thanks for sharing Dave and others. Much appreciated.
