#677: This Little Light of Mine

This is an example of a "zipper song" where you can plug in almost anything, religious or secular, alternating with the consistent "I'm gonna let it shine." (So it works well for protests/marches/rallies etc!) I feel like there are also a couple different versions of the melody; when you're singing something longer like "Hide it under a bushel? No!" the pitches move around more than this "rising" melody; it's adaptable enough that you can fit lots of different patterns in. But maybe not with this specific harmonization.

It also features yet another "oh-h" "echoy" part in the bass. I think I will try to retroactively add a tag for those. But maybe that's a tomorrow problem.
