When a group of five singers gathered in Danbury, Connecticut in 1966 to discuss forming a barber- shop chapter called the Mad Hatters, they could scarcely imagine that in less than a decade, that group would grow to nearly one hundred men and would be among most talented, irreverent, and exciting choruses in the northeastern United States. Yet by the early 1990s, less than fifteen years from its heyday in the mid-seventies, the Mad Hatters almost ceased to exist. Why did this chorus grow so quickly, and then devolve into near oblivion, only to rise again like a phoenix from the ashes? Eschewing simple answers, Gadkar-Wilcox weaves together the changing interpersonal dynamics among the men of the chapter, the demographics of the Danbury area, and the impact of broader social change in the United States. He demonstrates that barbershop singers struggled to adjust to the social, racial, and cultural changes of the 1960s and 1970s, but that they also rose and fell based on the individual personalities of their leaders. On the Sunny Side shows that even though organizations are bound to reflect, and be constrained by larger social, economic, and historical forces, they also come to embody the spirit of the individuals who comprise them.

This authoritative reference work investigates the roots of the Sacred Harp, the central collection of the deeply influential and long-lived southern tradition of shape-note singing. Where other studies of the Sacred Harp have focused on the sociology of present-day singers and their activities, David Warren Steel and Richard H. Hulan concentrate on the regional culture that produced the Sacred Harp in the nineteenth century and delve deeply into history of its authors and composers. They trace the sources of every tune and text in the Sacred Harp, from the work of B. F. White, E. J. King, and their west Georgia contemporaries who helped compile the original collection in 1844 to the contributions by various composers to the 1936 to 1991 editions. The Makers of the Sacred Harp also includes analyses of the textual influences on the music--including metrical psalmody, English evangelical poets, American frontier preachers, camp meeting hymnody, and revival choruses--and essays placing the Sacred Harp as a product of the antebellum period with roots in religious revivalism. Drawing on census reports, local histories, family Bibles and other records, rich oral interviews with descendants, and Sacred Harp Publishing Company records, this volume reveals new details and insights about the history of this enduring American musical tradition.
