I thought I asked you the shapenote question for the Regency and we had had a whole discussion; apparently that was my wife (who is both a fan and quite good at it) -- e-mail tells me so. Still! Shapenote! Yay! It is apparently a uniquely American thing, and some of the songs are a grand mix of impassioned and kooky. I will go home and pluck lyrics from her shapenote sing binder, which are all from "The Aeolian Harp of Gold" or something like, ca. 1860.

Also, Bertie and his wife were clearly in Canada doing Sekrit War Work.
