Sacred Cow Harmogenizers? I'm not even going to ask.

I just noticed that I messed up the Vermont URL. Here it is.

It's hard to recommend a recording for newbies. We even have a hard time telling people which tunes to learn first. You tell them to learn a dozen & the next time they go to an all day singing 2 of those get called along with 60 others you didn't mention.

I'll be brave & make some suggestions. Ordering details for these can be found on the Sacred Harp Resources pages.

For learning: Recordings from 1965-1975 by the Sacred Harp Publishing Co. reissued on CDs and Cassettes. 3 CD's. My order of preference is "Sacred Harp Singing at the Old Country Church," "Fasola Is Here To Stay," then "Original Sacred Harp: Fasola Singing from the 1960s." All of these were recorded in a studio by traditional singers. You won't get the feel of a live convention, but the best singers of the time were there & all parts are solidly covered. They were created by traditional singers for their children & friends to learn from.

Leaving for lunch, more later if we don't close for snow.
