Podcast: Send the Band Home early
Episode #15-37 | airing 9-09-15
The purity of the unaccompanied human voice is one of the most beautiful sounds. Songs sung without accompaniment or a capella have a long history in folk music. You don’t need an instrument to make beautiful music whether you’re working on the farm, marching to battle or just passing time on the porch. So send that band home and just sing.
