Picking with Rog


This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood jam sessions features a couple of tunes with one of The Flood's earliest members.

Roger Samples, one of the founders of The Flood, is a bit under the weather these days, so yesterday The Flood made a house call. Joe Dobbs and Charlie Bowen hit the road, hooking up with Buddy Griffin and Rog's brother Mack for a few hours of music in Roger's Mount Sterling, Ky., home.

During the more than 10 years he played regularly with The Flood, Rog brought in so many tunes for us to do, from beautiful Michael Peter Smith ballads to crazy jugband numbers. Click to hear two tunes from the visit.

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.
