This is where I was exposed to the HUGE sound of Sacred Harp. It's as if a wall of sound were building,fountain like, from the center to spill out on the singers and spray the passersby with a glorious unforgettable experience. After moving 1500 miles away, I still crave this music.
And thank you for your encouraging comments! Downstate Illinois singers meet at Rock Springs periodically to sing. It's a great place to visit - and sing!
Sorry about the poor sound recording on this and a few of my previous videos, due to camera problems. I wished add this video as a 'document' of another event where shape note singing was a feature.
I used to be a Naturalist at this facility!

Thanks for posting, no matter the sound.
