Thread Name: Advantages of shape notes?
Subject: RE: Advantages of shape notes?
Shelley Posen does this song a cappella with his trio. Rick's version was solo with guitar accompaniment. That's no big deal, except that one person cannot do the fuge. (He sends his showers of blessings down)

Also he changed the notes at the end of the chorus so that while he sang words LA, SOL, FA the matching notes should have been 3-2-1 of the scale. If I recall correctly, he actually sang the notes that would have matched LA-MI-FA Of course only a shape note singer would have noticed this.
