Your stamping looks great.
I cut a block stamp for the Toronto group’s loaners. A little more utilitarian, but I matched the typeface.

On our drives to southern singings this summer and fall, we noticed there were fewer Bucky’s billboards and the messages were tamer.

Last Fall this was discarded on a sidewalk in Toronto. I tried to figure out how to overwinter it. Looks like it made it. I want to bring it in again with as little mess as possible—we have cats. Our basement doesn’t get cold but I could make a spot near a window. Any more tips besides your article?

Not sure that was technically “broadcast”.
However those wishing still wising to keep the airwaves clean could still report the FAN590 Jays Talk show for broadcasting this interview (they did sort of apologize for ‘live radio’ right afterwards). bsky.app/profile/blue...

To clarify, everyone at the convention was singing, chatting & eating together (and exchanging hugs).
In contrast the most diverse gatherings I’m in are Toronto transit system subway cars and busses, with people from all over the world. But the only thing we do together there is co-exist (usually).

The original Sacred Harp book came out in 1844 and has had waves of popularity over the centuries. Hopefully the release of the 2025 revision is a sign the tide is rolling back in. The first printing sold out in the first weekend.

Several people coming to tonight’s singing in Toronto felt the same way where they’d be singing with the 2025 book. Not being a book seems strange.
We sang about two-thirds new songs and it went well.

It was packed.
There was a report of around a hundred.
They couldn’t have fit in a dozen more into the meetinghouse.

Has WABE done a story since they published the AP reporting on the new book?
I’m guessing there will be some local media coverage for the singing weekend. And maybe national cable news like CNN or even… Fox.
