This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

 

We love it when fresh ears bring something so new to an old tune. 

Now, our newest Floodster Vanessa Coffman had never heard this old folk song until she started playing with us, but she quickly found the chords and the melody gave her plenty of stretching out room for some imaginative solos and some tasteful fills behind the vocals. 


Here, from a mini-jam session last week, Veezy finds all kinds of musical opportunities
in this great old roustabout song said to be from the Ohio River Valley steamboat era called “Alberta, Let You Hair Hang Low.”
