Didn't you love the use of shape note singing! Very effective. As, too, was Ms. Kidman whose restrained use of dialect offended not my Southern ear.

"I had a fawm in Afwica.")If you found the subject matter interesting, tinear, read "None Shall Look Back" by Caroline Gordon, one of the South's finest writers.
