Thread Name: Appalchian Singing / Psalm Singing. Same
Subject: RE: Appalchian Singing / Psalm Singing. Same
wilco48, I had the same question for Noreen (I think it was her) who was singing Irish ballads for us one day in PalTalk.
I didn't have the words to describe that style, but I had heard black students of mine sing gospel that way. Then when I heard Noreen sing the Irish ballads that way I wondered if the style had a name.
