Black Mountain - Swannanoa Valley Singing

Saturday, 12 November, 2005
Black Mountain Center for the Arts
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.

Coleshill 143t - Guy Bankes

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.
