RT @flipdrivel: @bklynharuspex Nice. "Time, a taper guttering / Drops in a slow decay" reminds me of Watts's "Time, like an ever-rolling stream, / Bears all its sons away"
It's Common Meter and quite appropriate, so I invite my #shapenote composer friends to get on it
Turns out Shape Note singing is knackering! Nearly 30 songs, back to back, all in 2 hrs of singing. There was a tea break! Thanks for a brilliant introduction to this fantastic form of music in Glasgow last night. Heading back to Bute now. @ShapeNoteScot
