All kinds of stories are told at the weekly rehearsals. Some are shared for laughs. Others are merely melodies and improvisations. Some come with pictures. And some — like this one — are the tales that are many times older than all of us.
When Dave Peyton and Charlie were just starting out as a duo in the early 1970s, they discovered that on this tune, a repeated scale descending from an opening minor chord resonated nicely on the guitar-Autoharp accompaniment to their voices.
Over the decades, each configuration of The Flood has found something new to contribute to this basic arrangement. And it is still happening. Just listen to what Dan Cox and Jack Nuckols brought to the song at a rehearsal earlier this month.
