As I read old Crossville newspapers looking for interesting facts from the past to put in the Looking Back column I enjoy some chuckles, but often I am left with unanswered questions.
Many times there are brief announcements of a singing school about to begin.
I wanted to learn more about this activity, but I found very little information on the subject. And then one of those stranger than fiction occurences happened. I was looking through catalogs in an office as I waited for my appointment when I came across a sheet of paper with the heading The Harpeth Valley Sacred Harp Newsletter. The return address was Nashville, but there was no indication of who had received it. I mentioned it to the owner of the office and by that evening I had an answer.
