This link is a "Smoky Mountain Minute" about Shape Note Singing in Cades Cove, produced by the Great Smoky Mountains Association. The shape note singing is from Tennessee's "New Harp of Columbia" which is very similar to, and stems from the same roots as William Walker's Carolina "Christian Harmony". https://youtu.be/FyrUhdBHOg8
