Singing this Sunday and New Book Order!

[Mary Rose O'Leary]

Greetings, Sacred Harp Singers,

We're singing again this Sunday on the back porch in Eagle Rock and I hope you'll join us.

Sunday, August 3, 2025

3:30-6pm

Something to nosh and/or drink is always greatly appreciated, thanks.

Text or call me at (323) 695-3020 for my address.

I contacted the Sacred Harp Publishing Company awhile ago to see about ordering the new book, the 2025 revision to the Denson Sacred Harp that will debut at The United Sacred Harp Convention in Atlanta the second weekend of September. I hear tell there may be 800 singers there, can you imagine?

Anyhow, Richard Ivey of the SHPC says they prefer to mail the books in bulk, so I offered my address for delivery. 

Here's the form to fill out and order new books:

**2025 Sacred Harp edition order form for Los Angeles**

Please complete this form by August 31st (Young People's Convention right here in Eagle Rock!), as I'll be sending in our order September 1st.

The new books cost a generous $20 a pop. This is due in large part to British singer, Rebecca Over, who spent a lot of time down south researching Sacred Harp, and who tragically died this last year. Rebecca left a gracious bequest to the Sacred Harp Publishing Company, making the books affordable for us all. Thank you, Rebecca. ❤️

I'm also very happy to report that Arieta Begley has generously offered to purchase 50 loaner books for Los Angeles singings in memory of her beloved husband, our dear friend and Sacred Harp singer extraordinair, Jeff Begley, whom we miss every time we sing. Thank you, Ari! ❤️

Well, I think that covers it. Order your books today! You can pay me when you pick up the books.,

Cheers! Hope to sing with you Sunday,

Mary Rose O'Leary
