I first learned of this music shortly after I started to teach in FL and a student gave a speech on the topic. His family is from Appalachia and shape note music was a family tradition. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2009/sep/19/sacred-harp/Rick Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644727322354639908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34740459.post-57849880544946464082009-10-03T15:07:18.300-04:002009-10-03T15:07:18.300-04:00You are in a great town to learn about shape note ...You are in a great town to learn about shape note singing. The movie Cold Mountain features shape note music, and I read a news story about how they found the musicians they needed in the Chattanooga area. <br />Here is a link to a shape note scene in CM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY6LPgY_Zw0Rick Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644727322354639908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34740459.post-41620259137451558332009-09-17T19:43:01.021-04:002009-09-17T19:43:01.021-04:00Really?!

They have lists of local singings all around the country.<br /><br />I enjoyed the talks that you and Matt gave at Covenant College so much, and I was really touched by the presence of your baby in a situation like that. I wanted to tell you at the time, but we had to leave early. I'm transitioning from doing scholarship into staying at home with my toddlers, and sometimes it's hard, but I just felt like the way you talked about it really validated the way that our education prepares for mothering our children.joannabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256772514485264302noreply@blogger.com
