Kind of a blessing, in a way... If I heard Doe, a deer, a female deer... one more time Id be ready to climb a clock tower somewhere with a bunch of water balloons full of coyote urine... That method {using Do Ra Me etc} at one time was used in many churches in the U.S. The congregation didn't sing the words to Hymns but rather sang phonetic notes. The name of it escapes me but I remember my grandmother singing like that sometimes. She was born in the late 1800's. It may have been something more common in Appalachia.

There was something called shape note singing, I believe, where the shape of the note told you whether the note was do or re, etc. Is that what your grandmother did?
