This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

 Danny Cox and Randy Hamilton do some serious gold mining in this old sweet song. 

 
This track opens with Charlie Bowen and Jack Nuckols laying down the basic melody and rhythm, and then just listen to Danny start spending out all the riches he’s found in those lovely old chords.

 “The Andy Griffith Show” was always at its best when the music-loving Darling family rolled into town. Now, The Darlings were played for the real-life Ozark band, The Dillards. Here from last week’s rehearsal is Randy Hamilton leading us on our take of the Dillards’ greatest tune.

We first recorded this tune nearly a quarter of a century ago, a good old blues written in the 1930s by a Kentuckian named Teddy Darby.

 Here’s a song that was born at jam sessions, with an infectious rhythm and a couple of funky chords that invite all kinds of improvisation. 

 
“Spooky” is the latest tune that Randy Hamilton and Danny Cox have brought to our band room, complete with those Classics IV lyrics.

 For your Friday Flood fix, here’s a tune we all grew up hearing, Grandpa Jones’s theme song: “Eight More Miles to Louisville.” In this take from this week’s rehearsal, Randy Hamilton sings the lead and we all join in on the choruses.

 George Gershwin’s “Lady Be Good” has been in The Flood repertoire for nearly a quarter century, aut lately it’s taken on a new life ever since Danny Cox brought around a better bunch of chords. Listen to Dan and the guys just rocking the socks off the thing!

 This old tune from the mid-1960s hadn’t been played in The Flood band room in more than a decade or so, but when it dropped in at last week’s rehearsal, it fit the moment as comfortably as a good old shoe.
