The 9th Singing on the River

The Church of the Holy Spirit
Marshall, Madison County, North Carolina
Saturday, November 15, 2025

All selections from The Christian Harmony (‘Carolina book’, 1873 facsimile, 2015 Folk Heritage reprint).

Due to persistent damage from Tropical Storm Helene in September 2024, our usual home in Marshall, NC, was still unavailable; so thanks to Holy Spirit for continued hospitality. Laura Boosinger was touring in Australia, and Brandon Johnson, Director of Madison County Arts Council, ably deputized for her.
