Subject: RE: Happy! - Feb 29 (Mother Ann) From: GUEST,Guest Date: 29 Feb 08 - 06:15 PM Mother Ann Lee was an inspiring religious leader born on a special day. I think the Shakers have been very aware of that fact. They wrote special hymns about her. Did you know that she wrote songs too?

Here's a clicky: http://www.americanmusicpreservation.com/shakerhistory.htm Why did they whip Elder William and Elder James? Any reason apart from that they were Shakers? I have a book somewhere with Mother Ann's Exultation in it. Their music is lovely - I've been singing Bow & Be Simple since college - |
