Word Of Mouth Chorus On PHC 5 - 7-83

I actually found this song before ever watching the cartoon Over The Garden Wall (which I highly recommend).  I came across it in a Sacred Harp Facebook group and loved it and decided to do a recording.  I did the first two verses in the order that Cricket Blue and Friends did their cover, and then added the last two verses that the Redwood Teen Music Camp did for their recording.  Also, listen for the cat meow after the shapes!!
Cover art was created by me and DALL*E 2, a new AI system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language.  
Pottsfield C.M. is attributed to B. Armstrong, J. Kaufman, and J. Rubenstein.

Shapenote singing is a tradition developed in the late 1700's and early 1800's that helped everyday people sing music even if they couldn't sight-read standard musical notation. Shapenote and the Sacred Harp songbook are still allowing people to share a musical experience until this day. Learn more about this tradition from Anne Heider, Robert from the Chicago Shapenote Singers, and Ruth Reveal.

You can learn more about Shapenote, the Sacred Harp, and find singings in your area at http://fasola.org.

Also, thanks to Kate Lumpkin for her help with this episodes.

54: Shapenote

Martha Lee Bohacz, my mother, told me she wrote this country gospel song sometime in the 1960s. She performed it many times live at her church, Emmanuel Bible Church in Berwyn, Illinois, plus other places. She often performed with my dad Emilian Anthony Bohacz and their band "Gospel Truth Singers." Dad played harmonica in the band but not on this recording. I uploaded her track to my SoundCloud account because she didn't have an account of her own. If you'd like more music from "Gospel Truth Singers" you can download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/os9izpu5wshwl102ibj75/h?dl=0&rlkey=wpsxvzpsdd57i2yntwhlumlxv
