[Magdalen] Brightest and Best - The Epiphany, January 6, 2016.

[Grace Cangialosi]

Your mention of the shape note tradition reminded me that I had meant to report that Susan Hagen and I attended the annual New Year's Harmonia Sacra Sing in Harrisonburg last Friday night. It's held at the Weaver Mennonite Church on New Year's Night and is the oldest continuous sing in the country.  Susan attends pretty much every year, and I think this was my fourth time. Cady went with us several years ago.
