Seven Shape Singing in Chambers County
This beautiful and sad article from the LaFayette Sun was recently posted to the Fasola discussion list. The article, written by an educator and leader in the black community of Chambers County, describes the decline and recent cessation of the seven shape singing conventions in the area. The article was not available online, so I have published it to a web page on my shape note music web site.
