If you all want some interesting reading, type in "Joseph Brackett" in your browser. Or, go to wikipedia.com, and read up on the history of The Shakers. The song kinda inspired me to read up on it's history. It's very interesting reading! Of course, do this after you're done practicing!	Dave2311 Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 534 Karma: 4

Actually I find the Shaker history fascinating. I have visited Pleasant Hill Ky (famous for making brooms), Caterberry, NH (I believe seed production)and Handcock, MA (Round barn,etc.) I have lots of shaker books and I believe that in Hancock you can see a Shaker music stand. Many of the villages feature Simple Gifts during many presentations. At last news there are still a few living Shakers at Sabbath Day Lake, ME. Obviously the Shakers were famous for their industry, furniture, boxes, etc.

Their belief in abstinence brought about their demise, that's why there aren't many left...Used to teach that too!	Tigerpaws Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1109 Thank you received: 3 Karma: 41
