I thought it was a recording by Rev. J. C. Burnett Vol 2 1927-1945 where he preaches/sings "I don't want no trouble at the river". She listened to the Burnett recording and that's not the same song (if you want to call Burnett's ramble a song) although it has the same line in it. Does anyone know this song? Richie |

Inside the room, aswarm with Secret Service, fire officials and other security sorts, the privileged hundreds were a ready audience for the hyped-up Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir. But when the choir began to sing "People, people, people, people — hear me callin'" it seemed to speak to the thousand-some outside waiting fruitlessly to get in. It wasn't long before the choir made its move. The choir leader asked the buzzing crowd if it was all right if they sang a spiritual. The buzz didn't alter, so the song began. "I don't want no trouble at the river ... when it's time for me to cross to the other side." |
