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.
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.
