This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

For this week's freebie from The 1937 Flood, we're searching through old gold…

These days the weekly rehearsals are largely about figuring out what tunes we'd like to put on the next Flood CD, which we hope to start working on later this year. That means checking out new songs, but also revisiting pieces we used to play a lot but some reason have let slip away.

A case in point is Dave Franklin's classic fiddle tune, "Cincinnati Rag." It was a regular of ours at gigs 10 years ago or so, but it never ended up on a CD. At last night's practice, Joe Dobbs brought it out again. This resulted in an obvious teaching moment -- you can hear us discussing the chords as Joe lays down the melody -- but by the end, everyone was in agreement: this needs to be back on the regular set list.

And speaking of new audio… The Flood had a fun time on a pleasant Wednesday last May when The Red Barn Radio Show invited us to Lexington, Ky., for an evening. Recently, producer/director Ed Commons sent us a disc of the show and we're happy to share with our extended Family Flood. Click here to hear the entire show!
