Stuart & Richard Ivey lead 37b in the Sacred Harp, Liberty 1992



This is too adorable - plus you'll see Jerry in the foreground of this video.  Unfortunately the DVD I have doesn't have any video of Jerry leading (which is too bad, because the minutes from that year say he led a couple of songs with Erin in the afternoon).  But there he is in the front row of the tenor as Stuart and Richard lead.  (They might not be so happy if they find out I've posted this to YouTube...)

(This is from six years before I met Jerry, five years before the first time I went south to sing, and a year before the first of the two Sacred Harp workshops Neely Bruce did at Lincoln Center's outdoor festival that finally, ten years after I first heard Sacred Harp singing, provided me with a chance to actually sing it and find my way to the Sacred Harp community.  All those wasted years between 1983 and 1993 when I should have been singing!  But so grateful I did finally find my way to it.)
