"The song that YOU sing does
you the most good"
--Frank Stamps
Singing conventions are alive and
well today. Remember the all day singings with dinner on the
grounds? They have changed, but not much. Mostly now the
conventions are on Friday evenings and all day Saturday.
People still come from miles around--covering many states. Why
don't you join us???
