Dear All, About three or four weeks ago I mentioned a TV programme shown in Britain called 'The Gospel Truth?', about the roots of black gospel music being from Gaelic psalm-singing in the Scottish Highlands, a theory put forward by the Afro-American Professor of Music at Yale University, Willie Ruff. The programme produced quite a stir, but I'm reluctant to send videos out again to ROSSGEN members as the last ones I sent made very slow progress. However, I am willing (within reason) to send individual members a CD of about a dozen psalms recorded on the Island of Lewis, and featured in the TV programme. The CD would also contain a 3 minute video clip (playable on your computer) of the congregation singing, and some stunning images of the landscape and atmosphere of the Outer Hebrides. The unaccompanied singing is quite unique (and pretty eerie), and is a real remnant of a by-gone age when our ancestors lived and worshipped in the Highlands. Lachie
