No SG Berserker here, just an appreciation of the Spirit in the singing and the songs. If you found the Lord thru CCM, then all praise to Him for using that tool to bring you into the fold.

Thanks for the additional info on shape notes.

Shape note music is some of the most beautful and interesting music ever written. Simply stunning particularly when you are inside the choir singing it.

One the odd characteristics is that you can move from part to part and sing that part in your own register. Tenors will sometimes sing the soprano part, for instance.

And it is all in praise of Jesus and His Father. It is simply wonderful.
