This Week's Freebie from the 1937 Flood

This week's freebie catches up as we're warming up for the evening.

We're always looking for tunes that help the band warm up for an evening's practice or performance. The ideal warmup number has an easy rhythm, some lyrics for the singers to stretch out on and opportunities for everyone to take a solo or two.

"Trouble in Mind," a classic eight-bar blues written by jazz pianist Richard M. Jones back in the 1920s, fits the bill perfectly. Click here to hear the tune.

Finally, remember that the 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.
