All selections from New Harp of Columbia, Restored Edition, 2001.

Minutes - Elkmont Chapel of Valley View Baptist Church, Wears Valley TN (southeast of Knoxville), Sunday, October 3rd, 2010. Bruce Wheeler, the moderator, noted that this year marks the 89th continuous singing (though not always at this location).

Originally erected in what became Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Elkmont Chapel was dismantled, loaded onto a truck, moved to its present site, and re-erected, in 1938. This year's singing was somewhat sparsely attended but quite strong nonetheless. I've posted a photograph at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobrichmond/5048557309/
