I grew up in a little church that lined out the songs,.up until I was about 9...thought everybody did it that way. Learned to do it myself, just can't sing the verse....I don't have a singing voice.
Thanks for this. My students are reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" and when Calpernia takes Scout and Jem to the Negro church, the hymns are sung by "linin'". This will be great to show an example of lining to my students!
Thank-you for your comment on "lining" Ralph called it that the night of the concert, but I couldn't remember what the word was when I uploaded the song! He also explained what lining was...helped the congregation to be able to sing along/participate without having the words to read.
