A week from now will be what is billed as the first Uppsala All Day Sacred Harp Singing in Uppsala, Sweden (but it will actually be a full weekend, so it's more like a "convention" than an "all-day"; I would call it a "double all-day". Perhaps in anticipation of this event, Swedish Radio has put out a very interesting article/set of interviews mostly I think with New England shapenoters. A lot of it's in Swedish (it's so cute how they say "Massachusetts"!) but enough is in English that I think it's well worth the listening even if (like me) your Swedish is "rusty, ya sure, ya betcha".
