This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features our New Year’s greeting to you.

We start the new year with one of the oldest tunes we know.

“The Water is Wide” is Scottish in origin and traces its roots all the back to the 1600s. It seems to be related to several of the English and Scottish ballad collected by Francis James Child in the second half the 19th century, but the modern version was popularized in the 1950s and ‘60s by Pete Seeger.

 In our rendition, from a recent rehearsal, Michelle sings the lead with sweet solos by Paul, Sam and Doug. Click to hear the tune.
