Shapenote videos

Addendum to my postings on shapenote singing (here here and here):

You can google on {“Sacred Harp” Youtube} for some — a whole lot of — video clips. There’s a remarkable clip of the Chicago Convention from a few years ago, with a kid leading Panting for Heaven (384) — in Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago (which linguists will recognize as the site of Chicago Linguistics Society meetings in the old days — annoying acoustics for meetings, but completely fabulous for Sacred Harp singing).
