<title>The Enduring Appeal of Shaped Note Singing</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/6421/20051111/the-enduring-appeal-of-shaped-note-singing</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 11, 2005) Each week across the country, thousands of people meet in churches, schools and homes to perform one of the oldest styles of American music. It&apos;s called &quot;shaped note&quot; singing. The name comes from the simple musical notation used in the songbooks.

Singers sit around a square.  There are no instruments — just the power of voices.  Todd Moe recently attended a shaped-note workshop led by &quot;Social Band&quot;, a Vermont based singing group, at the Old Meetinghouse Museum in the St. Lawrence county community of East DeKalb.
