I am trying to get mechanical-license copyright permission for a
recording of this song:

Title: "A Thankful Heart"
Words: Anne Steele
Music: John T. Hocutt
(c) 1991 Sacred Harp Publishing Company, Inc

Email sent to orde...@originalsacredharp.com on December 24, no
response so far. Should I be using different contact info?

Hello Karlin, 

I don't think the site has a specific email for mechanical licensing, but Mike Hinton is the listed contact for "limited use of tunes [...] for a specific period." I imagine he'd be able to point you in the right direction for a mechanical license. 

You can find his email here:

I'm sorry to say that Mike Hinton has passed away, and I would suggest you perhaps contact Jesse P. Karlsberg, who has granted some copyright usage in the past few months.

Unfortunately, Mike Hinton assed away last year, but this page has not been updated,I suggest contacting
John Plunkett, whose email address is also on that page.
