Well, the music was composed to be sung and tell a story.
In Cajun music, the voice is just another instrument.
It's a part of the band.
It takes a little work and a little time, but anyone can train themselves to sing, without straining or screaming, in any key and in the right octave.
I personally really like to sing in the key of A played on a D accordion.
A lot of it just has to do with being familiar and comfortable with the music.
Not wearing tight pants.

Thats when another to do the singing comes in, its not always the accordionist who sings, but bar instrumentals a lot of cajun songs have words and would lack the full feeling and structure without them. Learning the accordion parts is the easy bit!
Just my opinion.
