Thirty years ago, when the band first started doing this song, The Flood was back to being a trio of the original guys, Dave Peyton, Joe Dobbs and Charlie Bowen.
Often on rehearsal night, the only listener in the room would be Dave’s sweet wife, Susan. At the end of the evening, they’d ask Susie what last song she’d like to hear.
It was almost always this wonderfully sad French Canadian tune, one that she remembered hearing 20 years earlier down in Louisiana when she and David and young Davy lived in Cajun country. We lost Susan three years ago this summer. This one’s for you, dear heart.
