Subject: Origins: glory glory (when I lay my burden down)
I learned this from recordings of Otha Turner and the Afrossippi Allstars: http://othaturner.com/
A friend is wanting to use a version of it in a documentary, and I wonder if you all know more about it. Citations I've seen list it as trad, but I would like to help him make sure.

By the way, it's a great song to sing, and it made me go learn some about the fife and drum tradition; fun sound.
