It's funny how songs come in and out of our lives.
A half century ago when The Flood was thinking about being born, Dave Peyton and Charlie Bowen would get together on weekends to pick and sing, just the two of them, and among the tunes they’d play was “Way Downtown," which they learned from an old Doc Watson record.
The song has drifted in and out over the years, and whenever it rambles back in, it’s just as comfortable as an old shoe.
