Today I am thankful for:126. A beautiful day yesterday and the chance to enjoy a drive to Glacier National Park.
127. Belly laughs with my husband and daughter.
128. People who don't know me--and sometimes don't agree with me--who are finding my blog, leading to wonderful, meaningful conversations.
129. That God's grace is big enough for any sin, if we will but turn to Him in repentance.
130. That I can still type on my computer even if a couple of keys are broken (and that we were able to order replacement keys!).
What are YOU thankful for today?
The Sacred Harp
ReplyDeleteCongregations in Appellachia too poor to have instruments would raise their voices in praise in choruses like an organ. Alan Lomax collected 17000 recordings as part of our musical heritage and preserved them over a lifetime. After his death, he has given them all away for free. Once in the Library of Congress, many are now online. I hope you enjoy this short recording, it's your musical legacy. Make a joyful noise.
