@JesusVillaChuy Thanks! It's a bajo sexto. Nothing fancy- a Lonestar Victoria, but I really like the way it plays.

[JesusVillaChuy]

[blueridger28]

Thanks for posting. How did Samson Occom help Rev. Wheelock start Dartmouth. This is of interest, as I am related to Rev. Wheelock, and would love to learn more. Blessings this holiday.

[batfancy]

@TallFeathers He made a tour of England, meeting famous theologians and others and somehow got Lord Dartmouth to give a lot of money to the school (when it was still in CT I think). My memory is a little hazy on the details, but there's a lot about it in Occom's biography (only one as far as I know)...

[BardofCornwall]

Another excellent video. I love the visual of the cranberry jar at the end.

[Sheamusj]

Glorious!

Thank you from Canada!!

[voiceharp]

I really like this a lot. Thanks for sharing it.

[th3soulreaper]

Good music, thanks for the upload.

[kcnccarolina]

This song reminds me of the sea, of ships, and lighthouses, even though it's about something else, luv it, sounds sad, but it's calming.

[notwutuc]

Thanks so much for showing this ^^ made my day

[batfancy]

Furry on bro...

[freeoriginalsongs]

You're suspicions are not unfounded - Love your style.

Cheers

Hey Tim,

We had wild cranberries from Pelham Hill! They taste a bit woodier, but so much taster than Ocean Spray (which are pretty damn tasty).

Excellent choice for Advent, and I love the accompaniment.

[batfancy]

Where did you find them? Probably secret, but I'm curious to know more about where they grow around these parts (bogs and swamps I know, but only a few of them here and there...)

[kasumiheyes]

Basically up in the conservation area around where Btown becomes Pelham.

[inatangle]

--oh, never mind about the cranberry question--I see you answer it in the note accompanying the video.

[batfancy]

yeah- they're just before the big puddle (same spot as the sundews!) on the way up to the summit from the parking spot above Buffam Falls. There's plenty to go around!

[inatangle]

I **love** this song. It's because of you singing this that I first went to shape-note singing! Glad to see you "reissue" it, so to speak.

Where can we find wild cranberries? (or is it secret?)

[batfancy]

Cool! See the comment above for the cranberries- I think they'll be good for another couple weeks unless we get a super hard frost- singing tomorrow in Amherst!

[inatangle]

Can't come today (work -_-) but I've been playing the banjo-and-shape-note videos by banjoape (gorgeous) and singing along. One day I'll make it back to the real-live sings. Enjoy the afternoon!

[sasgay]

Awesome as ever, keep it up Tim!

[rebeldawg2169]

fantastic keep up the wonderful job

[JonnyGrave]

This is still one of my favorites from Every Sound Below. "Angels the rapture cannot bear" is such a gorgeous string of poetry.

[zoeplankton]

hey jon hey jon! agreed. I also love how the powerlines are radiating from you tim :D
