A while back I decorated both my Sacred Harp and my Shenandoah Harmony, because why not. It's nice to sing from a book that you've marked as your own.

So I wasn't going to lead at the all-day singing in Indianapolis today, but then I accepted an invitation to pair-lead "Kedar," and you know I love "Kedar."

And then at the next break, a nice man approaches me and says, "I like your shoelaces."

And he was @trambrosia !!

It was the nicest surprise.

Anyway I had a great time and sang a lot and came home with leftover baked goods.

Shapenote friends... there's a new singing popping up in my area and I'm available to go, but there might be so few people that we'd be down to 1 per section. I'm not sure I'm confident enough to hold down a whole part on my own - I've been singing for less than a year. I'm still learning about etiquette and stuff, what is the move here? 🫠 (Also out of curiosity, what happens if there is no one who can key?)

Today in my singing group we realized that the wackiest, horniest-for-death song in the Shenandoah Harmony is on page 288, which is 2 x 12 dozen, "too gross." Aaaaaaaaaaa lol, that's got to be on purpose!

Also the altos hold literally one note for the whole song. We decided that they play yhe part of the corpse!

Like many Brits, I'm a sucker for versifications of Psalm 23, because of all of the shepherding that dominates a sizeable part of Britain's rural economy. This one's got a pretty unique set of words that don't seem to be too common, especially in the UK, but it works well with the strong sense of momentum in T.B. McGraw's music; you'd never have thought music constructed almost entirely out of arpeggios would have such life to it.
