This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie is a tune we're working on to feature vocals by the newest Floodster, Randy Hamilton.

Of course, Randy is already a hit with Flood regulars for his solid bass playing and his high vocal harmonies, but we've been looking for a song on which we could feature him on lead vocals, and we think we've found it. We've started working on a moody version of "Wayfarin' Stranger" with Randy singing the story.

We're only just begun crafting the tune -- we're still hashing out our harmonies to support Randy's lead; Charlie's looking for something to add to Michelle's wonderful wispy melodies -- but we like to use the podcast to share works in progress, and this is one.

It's interesting, too, how the instrumentation is coming together. Check out the solo work by Doug and Sam and especially listen to Dave's first-rate Autoharp work, adding great accents that chime throughout the song. Stay tuned -- we'll keep you posted as this piece evolves. Click here to hear the tune.
