This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features a tune we revived a few years ago.

The Flood is fixin’ to awaken from its long winter’s nap soon — we’ve got a busy set of Saturdays scheduled next month — and we’ll kick everything off by returning to our favorite capitol city venue, Charleston’s Taylor Books on Saturday, March 9. Please, mark your calendar. We’re going to have a ball there, as always!

At last night’s rehearsal, we began thinking about the tunes we’ll want to play in that show, and at the top of list was this one. We’ve been doing W.C. Handy’s “St. Louis Blues” for decades, but the number never really took  off until we turned it over to our amazing Michelle Lewis. Click to hear the tune.
