"I had come to the Kennedy School because I had heard that the group would be singing an obscure form of music that some people called shape-note music and others called Sacred Harp music, and I was curious to find out what that sounded like. I had never heard of it before, but I had been told that in Portland alone, people got together to sing in this style of music at least four times a month. Sometimes more. That it had such a dedicated following intrigued me, and I thought there might be a story there." ~ Inara Verzemnieks, The Oregonian, October 2004
