This was our first singing. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Even got to be in the hollow square. We were very honored to do so! And this video was taken with my digital camera. So, I am very pleased with the quality since it is not even a video camera.

@29vjGKfg783Gownc It's called "fasola"  becaue we sing the notes first, and those are their names. It's just shorthand, a way to quickly call to mind what we're talking about.

@ak74auto Go to Fasola.org, the resources page. But it's far better if you actually go to a singing than listen to a recording.

Referring to Sacred Harp as "fa so la singing" is like referring to your car as "spark plug wheeling". That just sounds DUMB!

This was a good singing.
