This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood jam session features a great old riverboating tune by our fine Missouri friends Cathy Barton and Dave Para.
It was on the good old steamboat Delta Queen that we first met Dave and Cathy. Most recently, they shared the stage with us at a concert in Fairmont, W.Va. (In case you missed it, we recently posted a pair of videos from that show -- check here for that).
Anyway, a couple of weeks later, on the way home to Boonville, Mo., from Virginia, Cathy and Dave stopped to spend the evening with us and shared a few tunes at the Wednesday night jam session. The two know a passel of riverboat songs. Here's a sweet one called "The Bayou Sara" from Mary Wheeler's 1944 collection of roustabout songs, "Steamboatin' Days."Click here for the audio.
By the way, tunes from the jam sessions make up our weekly Flood podcasts. You can subscribe for free and get the music automatically delivered to your computer each Thursday. For details on that, click here.
