Black Mountain, Buncombe County, North Carolina
All songs from William Walker's 1873 2nd edition, the 1994 revision (the 'Carolina book').
A number of us arrived early to help set up and by about 9:30 our work was completed, so we decided to sing - a sort of preliminary warming up which would not "count" towards songs already sung.
Consolation 145b - Chris Wilhelm
Coleshill 143t - Guy Bankes
Portugal 183t - Mary Baumeister

Announcements
Parting Hand 200b
There were 25-30 singers. It was good to have Cheryl and Jeff's children, Wyatt and Cleo, singing with us. The day was a perfect fall day, bright and brisk.
* Guy commented on some notes in the treble of Boswell which are preceded by a "natural" sign. Since they are already natural, he is of the opinion this is a misprint and they should be sharped.
