WAXAHACHIE'S
Old Fashioned Singing at the Historic Chautauqua Auditorium in Getzendaner Park
Let us take you back to a time almost forgotten when Christian folks gathered in white-framed churches and under brush arbors to sing their faith out loud after enjoying dinner on the grounds!
The Old Fashioned Singing Project is a non-profit organization committed to the preservation and presentation of southern congregational singing as it occurred in brush-arbor meetings & church-singings in the rural American south in the first half of the 20th Century. SUPPORT THE PROJECT

CD SONG LIST:
The Old Fashioned Singing This World Is Not My Home Hide Thou Me Where Could I Go? Blessed Assurance Jesus, Hold My Hand Bringing in the Sheaves No One Ever Cared for Me Singing I Go Medley Down to the River to Pray The Old Account Settled Sunlight Medley Sweet By and By Unclouded Day Jesus Is All the World to Me I Will Meet You in the Morning Tell It Wherever You Go ----------------------------- The staged production of Waxahachie's OLD FASHIONED SINGING will usher you back to the first half of the 20th Century when southern folks gathered to sing together under brush arbors, in white-framed church buildings... and the Chautauqua Auditorium!
With live acoustic instruments, twelve singers present an hour and a half of congregational songs popularized by the Revivalist Movement in the American south.
This is not Southern Gospel Quartet music. These are the songs of the people - the songs which carried them through the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and two World Wars.
