Kendall, I remember how joyous and generous in spirit Dr Boyer was when we had him for a weekend parish retreat several years ago. And what a marvel of a musician!
One of my own joys that weekend was giving him a deeper introduction to shape-note singing. He was deeply appreciative of those of us in the parish who taught him a little bit more about this other uniquely American tradition of spiritual songs and hymns by having him sit through a singing session, complete with the traditional square seating arrangement of the singers and copies of [i]Sacred Harp[/i] hymnals.
May he, and all the faithful departed, rest in peace as they await the resurrection at the Last Day.+
