The 31st Annual Mountain Heritage Day Singing

Outreach Center Gymnasium, Western Carolina University
Cullowhee, Jackson County, North Carolina
Saturday, September 24, 2005

The morning session was sung from The Sacred Harp, 1991 edition.
As a substantial minority of singers were using loaner books, the singing essentially was sung from the 1971 revision.
Singers often led two songs at a time.

Mr Hugh McGraw gave introductory and explanatory remarks, then led 49t, Old Hundred.
He then called the following leaders:
