This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood features a favorite Bob Dylan tune. Today's Dylan's 71st birthday. Who saw THAT coming?

 Bob has always been a huge part of The Flood's musical landscape. Hardly any weekly Flood practice goes by without at least one Dylan tune.

 For instance, last night Michelle, Randy and Charlie had a rare vocals-only Flood practice and before the night was over, they were trotting out this great Dylan number from the "Nashville Skyline" period.  Click here to check it out!

This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood features a track from the best gig of the year.

The Flood always keeps open the third Saturday morning in May in order to play our favorite gig of the year. The Coon Sanders Nighthawks Fans Bash is an annual gathering of traditional jazz players and fans who come to our town from all over the country for three days and nights of good music and good times.

The Flood's so honored be part of this. For more than a decade now, we've played the Saturday morning session with what we call "the jug band breakfast," serving up generous helpings of hokum with their bacon and eggs. Here's a tune from last year's gathering. Click here to check it out!

 By the way, if you're in the Huntington area, come for the fun Saturday morning. See our website -- 1937flood.com -- for the details.

See ya on the radio!

The Flood is on the road this week, so there will be no podcast this week.

Instead of our usual practice session, we'll be in Lexington, Ky., this Wednesday evening performing on Red Barn Radio (www.redbarnradio.com). If you're in the area, come on down for the show -- it starts at 7 p.m. at 161 North Mill Street in downtown Lexington.

Or if you can't be there in person but still want to check out the doin's, Red Barn streams the live broadcast. Just visit www.wgad.net and click the big red icon on the right of the screen. See ya on the radio!

This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood features a fresh visit with an American classic.

As we noted in a recent podcast, The Flood's at the start of another reconfiguration -- new instrumentation, new tunes -- and so lately the weekly rehearsals have been especially interesting as fresh ideas come to the fore. Here's a case in point. For a while now, Joe Dobbs and Charlie Bowen have messed around occasionally with Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" and at last night's practice session, Michelle Walker stepped up to put some vocals on top of that. Oh, it's still a work in progress -- consider this a report from The Flood's New Projects Committee.Click here to check it out!
