This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features a tune in the works for a show later this month.

We’re gearing up for the launch of the big second season of “Route 60 Saturday Night,” the new music variety show at Route 60 Music Co., where The Flood is the house band.

The show is on the third Saturday night each month, meaning the next show will be on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17. And to celebrate in style, we wanted to dust off a few songs from The Old Sod.

Now, “Down By the Salley Gardens,” with lyrics by the renowned William Butler Yeats, has been in The Flood repertoire for 25 or 30 years — in fact, it’s on our first CD released all the way back in 2001 — but the tune has had a beautiful rebirth with harmony that Michelle has brought to the verses. Just listen!

And remember, mark your calendar. We’ll be at Route 60 Music Co., 60 Peyton St. in Barboursville on Saturday, March 17, for the start of the new season of “Route 60 Saturday Night!” Click to hear the tune.
