I guess, since y'all boys jumped on this subject before I could find the Music forum, I'll just add that for those who are unfamiliar, I'm told the movie 'Cold Mountain' has some church scenes with shape-note singing.
Faldage belongs to a group here, and I participate once in a while. What's particularly cool is that the tenors hold the melody, like they did back in the good old days.
