The revival of a Christian four-part choral style called Sacred Harp (the name refers to the human voice and a songbook published in 1844). Once America’s dominant religious music, it was eclipsed after the Civil War. By 1960, say scholars, as few as 1,000 people clustered in the Deep South knew the style.

The Rolling Stones have painted it even blacker for EMI, as they became the latest band to sever links with the beleaguered British record label.
The band have signed an exclusive recording agreement to release their next album (a one off deal for the soundtrack CD to Martin Scorsese’s film Shine A Light) through a rival and will not renew their contract when it expires in May.
The move marks the end of a 16-year collaboration, which has earned EMI more than 3 million a year.

Sue Laws remembers the night it began. It was October 2004, and she’d been working in the basement home office of her Gaithersburg brick rambler where she helps her husband run their tree business. She was sitting at her computer getting the payroll out, when all of a sudden she felt as if she were being attacked by bees. The itching and stinging on her back was so intense that she screamed for her husband, Tom. He bounded downstairs and lifted her shirt, but he couldn’t see anything biting her. She insisted something must be. To prove there was nothing there, he stuck strips of thick packing tape to her back and ripped them off. Then they took the magnifying eyepiece that Tom, an arborist, uses to examine leaves for fungus and blight and peered at the tape. “That’s when we saw them. It was covered with these little red fibers,” Sue recalls. She’d never seen anything like them. And she had no idea where they came from.”
