Fox wrote: Another lady, this one the Sunday dinner had great story about the origins of Slapout Alabama. Her father was in the Air Force and they traveled good bit across the southeast to small stations where he was a radar specialist. Said she lived just north of Wetumpka, Alabama at one point in a crossroads community of Slapout. Said fellow had a gas station there full service where he would bring items from his small store out to the car if asked. That is if he wasnt't too engaged in a Checkers game on the front porch in which case he was "Slap Out". (Source...)

It doesn't appear now that anything is going to be done to overturn the final outcome. Bottom line is that OSU didn't play a very good game. They should have won my 3 TDs at minimum. No running game and poor quarterbacking. Gonna be a long season for us...

Leland, is it this one or an updated version of it:Haruo wrote:Just got a copy of the North American Hymnal (German Baptist) in the mail today, amazed that I never saw this one before (in this neck of the woods there are a whole lot more Swedish Baptists than German ones).
I know you asked this of Stephen, but I will also speak to your question about the Sacred Harp books. I have Buell Cobb's The Sacred Harp: A Tradition and Its Music. It is a great book and I think still considered the standard work on Sacred Harp history. I highly recommend it, with a few caveats. You must understand that some of the material is outdated. We have learned a lot since it was written. It focuses more on the "majority" Sacred Harp history of the James-Denson stream and only peripherally on the Cooper and J. L. White books and their contributions to the Sacred Harp and its history. I have Like Cords Around My Heart and have read portions but not all the way through. It is a different type of book than Cobb's history book -- kind of homey storytelling -- and is full of great personal stories. I own Kiri Miller's Traveling Home, but haven't read it -- main reason being I read the thesis on which it is based.Haruo wrote:I also got a copy of Buell Cobb's The Sacred Harp: A Tradition and Its Music. Have you read Cobb, Stephen, either this one or his later Like Cords Around My Heart? And have you read Kiri Miller's Traveling Home?
