We discussed plans for a singing school, to be taught by Mandy Askins, possibly at Walter State, no date yet set. And Jeremy Shipp and Tina Becker are interested in resuming the monthly Epworth singing at the Laurel Theater in Knoxville. Bob Richmond noted that it would be a good thing to hold these singings during daylight hours, so that singers who can't drive at night can attend them.

We sang 174 The Rivulet, which we may not have sung before. The ties connecting do and then ti in the first measures have defects in printing, because of damage to the printing plates. A copy of the original 1867 printing displays the second of these two ties clearly, though the first is already partly missing.
