Photographed at the Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church in Old
Chicora. Accompanying note: "Well, in the Sacred Harp book there are four
shapes, FA, SO, LA, MI. The FA is triangular, and the LA is square, the
MI is diamond-shaped and the SO is uh zero, an O. And there's only four
shapes, in Sacred Harp music and they're called, the notes are called by
the shape of the note, rather than where it is located on the staff... because
you don't have to know very much music to be able to sing... That's the
main reason that, that I can figure out... anyway... is that it's easy to
sing, just because you, you call the note by the shape of it." Forms part
