This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

 A good song sometimes seem like a train, with people getting on and off all along the way. And kind of like a distant train whistle, it might resonate differently with everybody who hears it. 

Here’s a tune Charlie started doing 40 years ago
with Dave and Rog and Joe soon after it was released on a Red Clay Ramblers album. Doug and Sam met the song probably 20 years ago, Randy 10 years after that. And for Veezy? Well, last night was the first time she’d ever hear the song. 

So, here’s our latest ride on the late Tommy Thompson’s poignant modern Appalachian lament, “Twisted Laurel.”
