"Philip A. Taber . . . was an engineer and taxi driver who lived in Alabama, Michigan, Tennessee, and New York. He died in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. He was an avid collector of music books. Around 1960 he prepared a facsimile reprint of The New Harp of Columbia for East Tennessee singers. He submitted versions of two tunes to the 1991 edition of The Sacred Harp that vary considerably from the originals: Jarman's NATIVITY has the original fuging section removed, and the treble and alto of Swan's RAINBOW have been altered or exchanged in several places." David Warren Steel with Richard H. Hulan, The Makers of the Sacred Harp, Urbana, Chicago, and Springfield: University of Illinois Press (2010), p. 158.
