Thanks...to all, very helpful and insightful The book I have is Favorite Songs and Hymns Copyright 1939 Compiled by Homer F. Morris, Virgil O. Stamps, J.R Baxter, Jr. and W. W. Combs. Cost was 50 cents per copy, published by Stamps-Baxter Music and Printing Co. Inc, Dallas TX, Pangburn Ark (hum wonder where this is - its not a typo) and Chattanooga Tn
It came from an abandoned church, one my ancestors went to and were members of in rural SW Indiana. It is sitting idle now, all tumble down looking inside and everything looked as though folks just walked out...leaving everything behind, pews, lectern, including heaps of these old hymnals. Its an area where only very extended family members now live, folks we don't know anything about. Its a community (ie crossroads) that has seen better days. I have not heard of the Sacred Harp book...but I liked your tune Don.
