Chautauqua Preacher's Quartet --When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder

[Boldorion1958]

This gospel tune was written in 1893 by James M. Black, the great Methodist hymn writer from Williamsport, Pa. The quality is excellent for an acoustic record.

Comparable to a 30 person choir! amazing!

These old quartets were very talented, seems to be a lost art these days.

Right. These days, it's "pop in a CD and go with the flow." Even in the churches, this practices passes for worship.

And we call it "progress" and think we are getting better!

God help us.

The Chautauqua movement continues although perhaps not as conspicuously as in the past. For example, they are popular features at the American Baptist Assembly in Green Lake, Wisconsin.
