It’s interesting - a clip like this, which is highly intriguing to me, gets so little response. Is it because folks can’t relate to the shaped notes and hearing their names used for the syllables? I grew up singing those, and had to struggle to learn to read lines and spaces. I loved hearing this clip.

That was always one of my favorite clips off the Gaither videos.

Re the Gaither clip: I see dead people. They’re just singing. They don’t even know they’re dead.

Great clip. I really enjoyed watching it again.

Thanks for posting the vid! I’d forgot how solid Rex’s voice was. I consider him one of the most musical and almost majestic of basses.

Rosa Nell is one of a kind in a lot of ways…but you don’t hear playing like that much any more…now it’s a lot of flash and less substance (except for Stan W)

Re: the Maxines,Friedas,Agneses and Maudes:our church has at least a half dozen of each.So much for the perceived cultural difference,or maybe it’s that old South/Irish-Ulster/Scots connection.
