A quote from the above "Bible Search Engine" from
KingdomEngine.com,
"Why use this search engine?"
The Web has grown so much that searching for "King David" on Google gives 84,700,000 results (July 2007 data).
But the Bible Search Engine uses Google's technology to search across just 18 high quality Bible study,
historical and devotional sites. This gives you better results - getting you answers that are more specific
than simply using a big search engine and wading through thousands of pages!"

(Appalachia music traditions)
Lined-Out Hymnody and Psalmody
(a style of Appalachia music, yesterday & today)
Quotations from AppalchianCoal.com:
"This ancient style of singing religious music involves a leader chanting each line of text prior to its singing in unison by a congregation lacking hymnals or Psalters.
This style was used in some British churches in the 1700s and before and was brought to North America by colonist[s]".
"The oldest English-language religious music in oral tradition in Appalachia and North America, the lined-out (wikipedia.org),
congregational hymnody of the Old Regular Baptists
[Though Old Regular Baptists are not the only group to retain lined-out hymnody, theirs may be the purest, since it is the only form of singing used in their churches.
Having said that, Gaelic-speaking congregations in the Scottish Highlands and Islands sing in exactly the same way (only in Gaelic).
See Salm vols. 1 and 2, which has recordings from the Hebrides.] ,
is still heard in the heart of the coal-mining country of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. This music of worship once was the common way of singing sacred song in the American Colonies.
In this rare and beautiful music lies the roots of the high, lonesome mountain sound of elaborate melodic turns and graces portraying the people, their beliefs and practices, their history and theology,
through their music. This ancient style of singing religious music involves a leader chanting each line of text prior to its singing due to lack of hymnals, in unison by a congregation.
Used during the 1700s in British churches and brought to North America by colonists. The hymns are usually quite doleful.
It is imperative to stress the importance of the role of religion in shaping the music of the Appalachian people.
Old Regular Baptists, a denomination which sang beautiful, emotional, modal music
-- often improvised and "lined-out" by the song leader
-- but took a dim view of printed hymnals, harmony and accompaniment."
Alan Keyes, a former U.S. ambassador, ran against Obama in 2004 as the Republican
Senate candidate in Illinois. In his diatribe against the new president, Keyes calls Obama a "radical
communist" and says "he will destroy this country" and warns that unless he is
stopped, America "will cease to exist."
Keyes also says Obama has failed constitutional muster to become president,
since, Keyes argues, Obama was born in Kenya.

Quote from www.last.fm, "Gregorian chant is the central tradition of Western plainchant, a form of monophonic liturgical chant of Western Christianity that accompanied the celebration of Mass and other ritual services. This vast repertory of chants is the oldest music known as it is the first repertory to have been adequately notated in the 10th century. In general, the chants were learnt by the viva voce method, that is by following the given example orally, which took many years of experience in the Schola Cantorum. Gregorian chant originated in Monastic life, in which singing the ‘Divine Service’ nine times a day at the proper hours was upheld according to the Rule of St. Benedict. Singing psalms made up a large part of the life in a monastic community, while a smaller group and soloists sang the chants. In its long history Gregorian Chant has been subjected to many gradual changes and some reforms."
