This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features a revved and revisited version of a Flood standard.

Last night was a fun, goofy sort of evening at the rehearsal when everything that's usually fast went a little slower and everything usually slow got kicked up a notch or two. Like this one.

Now, the first song that Michelle Lewis ever sang in public with The Flood was "Moonglow." That was about a decade ago at a gig up in the mountains of Snowshoe, West Virginia, in Pocahontas County. For that show, as we recall, we played the great old jazz standard in the traditional way: a slow, sweet ballad.

But last night… well, last night "Moonglow" had gotten several shots of caffeine by the end of the evening and pulling into the fast lane. Click here to hear the tune.
