Notes

  • -  Northside Pentacostal (Truman College), part 2
  • -  Part 2 of a 2-part recording of preaching and singing by Northside Pentecostal Church (1527 E. Edgewater) on the street near Harry S. Truman College, at W. Wilson and Racine Avenues in the Uptown neighborhood; the preaching and witnessing is largely directed at alcoholics and transients who habituate bars and a hotel in the neighborhood; the targets for evangelism included whites, Indians, and Spanish-speakers, but few African American (most who walked by seemed not in need of intervention); the leader and pastor was Bobby Goddard, as was Junior Zornes (Lawrence Edward Zornes Jr.) and his wife, Dolly, and their son Jerry, who helped hold the microphones; the lead singer and guitar player was Joann Bolen (from Beckley WV), with her 15-year-old son Charles, both had come to Chicago 9½ years ago; recorded on a stereo Nagra IV with a Sennheiser 802 hand-held microphone and a Sennheiser 402 on a stand; due to an error in tracing the cables, the fieldworker confused the inputs and much of these two recordings has the volume up on the hand-held mike while it is lying on the ground some distance from the action, and thus the recording is of inferior fidelity; the first segment of this recording is a continuation of Bobby Goddard’s sermon from part 1, mostly on the left channel with some on the right; a man interrupts with a request to "praise the man in the yellow shirt" (across the street); hymn "Please let me walk with you Jesus . . . “ led by Joann Bolen; closing remarks by Goddard, with some audible heckling; final segment, left channel has mixed post-service conversation in which a woman named Huffman (Hoffman?) talks to Goddard about a sermon, right channel also has mixed post-service conversation; duration of part 2 is about 14 minutes.
