This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features a jug band tune we've been loving for a long time.

For many years each spring, The Flood played one of its all-time favorite gigs, the Saturday morning breakfast session for the annual Coon-Sanders Nighthawks Bash, a gathering of traditional jazz fans in downtown Huntington. Those extraordinary players of Dixieland era music invited us to share a set of jug band tunes that come from the same happy time period.

Sadly this venerable assembly discontinued a few years back, but fans missed it so much that good old Dale Jones has set up a Dixieland jam session this week and the Flood's on the bill!

At our rehearsal earlier this week, we ran through some tunes for the set.Click to hear the tune.
