Middle Tennessee is sometimes referred to as "The Buckle of the Bible Belt" as there seems to be a church on every corner. One place that is evident is at the Diana Singing.
The little community of Diana, TN has perhaps 30 people that live there, near the railroad tracks in the northeastern corner of Giles County. However, twice a year many Christians descend on the small town from miles away for the semi-annual acapella singing, which begins tomorrow.
A large shed was built to hold all the singers, but there's always an overflow crowd. Many people drive in with their campers, parking in a large field that stays vacant the rest of the year. On both the Friday and the Saturday, singing starts at 7:30 pm and lasts into the night as long as there are people willing to stay. (I lasted until 1:15 am.) Starting at Midnight, those remaining seperate into each of the four singing parts so that a special CD can be recorded.
The Diana Singing happens every year on the second weekend of June and September. This is their 42nd year.
Curious what that sounds like? Here is "Salvation has been Brought Down"
Also, here is the youtube videos of "Our God, He is Alive"
