Side A recorded in the Crozet Tunnel and Side B re-amped under a dome at Museum of Life and Science.

"Tunnel":

Bright Morning Star
Originally a Masonic hymn which entered the American folk lexicon. We learned this from Peter and Mary Alice Amidon’s version on Sharon Mountain Harmony, who attributed their version to a recording of Walter and Lola Caldwell which was collected by Jean Thomas in Ashland KY, 1934.

(vocal improv)

Idumea
This version sung from #47b in The Sacred Harp.
Melody: Charles Wesley, 1763. Text: Ananias Davisson, 1816

(instrumental improv)

Cherry Tree Carol
Traditional. We learned this version of the melody from Jean Ritchie on British Traditional Ballads in the Southern Mountains, Vol. 2
