I was at this wonderful event. Music was glorious (nice sound reproduction). I'll admit I stepped outside of the century plus old wood-structure church above the Missouri River in the middle of a forest--the sound echoed through opened church doors & across the county road. No way to describe emotions I felt standing in front of that magnificent country church listening to these voices. Thank you for helping me relive the memory & thank you for showing others the beauty of shape-note singing.

Wow! Here are the words:
Youth, like the spring, will soon be gone,
By fleeting time or conqu'ring death;
Your morning sun may set at noon,
And leave you ever in the dark.
Your sparkling eyes and blooming cheeks
Must wither like the blasted rose;
The coffin, earth, and winding sheet
Will soon your active limbs enclose.
