From This Week's Flood Jam Session


This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood jam session features a wonderful duet on a beautiful ballad from the British Isles.

Joe Dobbs and Dr. Wendell Dobbs are not related, but when you hear Joe's fiddle and Wendell's flute together, you'd swear these Dobbses were brothers. Or at least, they ought to be.

Wendell, a music professor at Marshall University and a section leader of the Huntington Symphony Orchestra, is an old friend. (And he and his wife, Linda, live only a few blocks from where The Flood has its weekly jam session, so, honestly, Wendell, you have very little excuse for not dropping in more often!)

Here, he and Joe put their special touch on "The Water is Wide." Hear 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.
