Brooklyn shapenote singing, Sunday, August 13, 2023

Singing from the Sacred Harp, 1991 Denson (SH) and 2012 Cooper (CB) editions, and from the Shenandoah Harmony (ShH).  We collected $41 for the church. I was glad some folks could make it to my house after, but there is a lot of ice cream left over and I cannot figure out how to take it successfully to Midweek to share. Call if you are in the neighborhood, there’s still caramel sauce and strawberries (thanks, Sunny) and I can even whip up some more cream.
