Heading to another family reunion this weekend, I'm reading through old records and was reminded that my paternal grandfather's family were good singers. The following is clipped from a transcribed (and recently reprinted) oral history entitled The Jordans of Brindlee Mountain.
JCB, Sheffield, and Tom were accomplished Sacred Harp singers.
Old singing minutes describe how they conducted class, 15 minutes each.
Herbert also loved Sacred Harp singing and was a great bass.
Here is a link to the family church, Rocky Mount Primitive Baptist Church, where my cousin, Matt Jordan is pastor. I think I need to learn how to sing this way ~
Listen up!
