- Description:
- Art Rosenbaum records Lawrence McIver singing gospel songs in Eulonia, Georgia. Some songs are McIver's original compositions, such as "It's a Shame," which is about drug abuse. He discusses his songwriting process, and sings a shout song, "Army Cross Over Joshua's Soldier." He discusses how ring plays are performed, and doing what was called "set dances," as a child, as well as popular dances such as the jitterbug. He remembers the lack of drums in music performances; people would drum on the floor instead.
