A fine singing space!

This page is going to be for local history of the shape note tradition. I have only one story of my father. He learned the shapes when he was a boy in Cocke County in the 1930's.

My mama has told me that when the shapes were taken out of the "Broadman Hymnal" he had a hard time singing his bass line.

How I wish Daddy had lived long enough to sing the shapes with me.
