This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

 Here’s a tune that we started doing back in the foggy ruins of time, inspired by the original that was recorded 90 years ago thi


s year by some of our heroes, in this case, the great country blues band, The Mississippi Sheiks. 

Of course, we did have to fool with it to make it our own. We don’t know how Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon would feel about that A-flat that we added to the fifth bar of their lovely E blues, but, hey, that’s just how songs get Floodified. 

Here from last night’s rehearsal is the latest rendition, with double servings of solos by Doug, Sam, Vanessa and the two Pauls. It’s our 2020 take on “Sittin’ on Top of the World.”
