![]() ![]() " most penetrating and subtle ethnographic accounts of Sacred Harp singing. Miller has broken new ground in the study of American religious music."- Journal of the Society for American Music Reviews" Traveling Home is an extraordinary intellectual and social achievement. Blending historical scholarship with wide-ranging fieldwork, Kiri Miller presents an engagingly written study of a musical movement that some have christened "a quintessential expression of American democracy." Meanwhile, the advent of internet discussion boards and increasing circulation of singer-produced recordings have changed the nature of traditional transmission and sharpened debates about Sacred Harp as an "authentic" form of southern musical expression. ![]() All-day "singings" from The Sacred Harp now take place across the country, creating a diverse and far-flung musical community. In the wake of the folk revival of the 1950s and '60s, this participatory musical tradition attracted new singers from all over America. Named after the most popular of the nineteenth-century shape-note tunebooks-which employed an innovative notation system to teach singers to read music-Sacred Harp singing has been part of rural southern life for more than 150 years. About the BookA compelling account of contemporary Sacred Harp singing, Traveling Home describes how this vibrant musical tradition brings together Americans of widely divergent religious and political beliefs. ![]()

Either way, I want to emphasize that the advice she gives is really great: easy to grasp, logical, and easy to implement. The author notes that people who are scraping by with multiple jobs or otherwise under dire straits may not be able to do much with some of her advice she empathizes based on her years of living paycheck-to-paycheck, though I felt the acute absence of commentary here on class and precariousness. To that end, the second half of the book is full of simple, practical advice that just about anyone could adopt into their own lives to establish healthy separation between work and leisure.

This is an audiobook about how we label children. And across the course of five tense days, with a journalist, a floppy-haired mayor, a police negotiator, and the sinister face of the pharmaceutical industry, they - and we - begin to understand why. What makes five kids pick a man seemingly at random - a nobody, he works in the housing department, doesn't even have a good phone - hold a knife to his side, take him to a warehouse, and chain him to a radiator? They've got a hostage but don't really know what they want or why they've done it. They're not looking for trouble, but one hot summer day, when riots break out across the city, they find it. They're not exactly a gang, but Blaze is their leader, and Troy has always been his quiet, watchful sidekick - the only one Blaze really trusts. Troy, Femi, Lee, Karen, and Blaze have been taking Concentr8 as long as they can remember. What's good for society is good for everyone.

I want to add other thing, I am hard of hearing and know many sign language. I have seen Maoir's cultures and church performances children involved in the shows.
