Freebies from The 1937 Flood, West Virginia's Most Eclectic String Band! The Flood, the Original Old Boy Band, has been around since the 1970s playing their own brand of mountain music, from blues and jugband to swing and traditional folk. These podcasts feature Flood Freebies, recordings captured on the fly, as it were, at the guys' weekly jam sessions in Huntington, WV

October Winds
As we’re preparing for this weekend’s October edition of Route 60 Saturday Night, we’re collecting our autumn songs for The Flood’s house band duties, including this lovely ancient Irish lullaby. Charlie learned “October Winds,” also called “The Castle of Dromore,” from the singing of the great Liam Clancy, and he recently taught it to the rest of the band, specifically for this show. The lyrics were written more than a hundred years ago by Harold Boulton, but the melody may be much, much older. We look forward to sharing it with friends this Saturday night. The 90-minute show is this Saturday night, Oct. 20, at Route 60 Music Co., 60 Peyton Street in Barboursville. Our guest artists are jazz guitarist Dr. Mark Zanter and beloved West Virginia singer-songwriter Colleen Anderson. The fun starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 and this month, all proceeds go to the good works of the Huntington Cabell-Wayne Animal Shelter. Come on out for good times for a good cause.
