Transcript

We thank everyone who braved the cold last night and came out to pack the house for our show at Huntington’s wonderful Bahnhof WVrsthaus & Biergarten. What a grand evening! Old friends, new friends and a whole bunch of fresh memories.

At a ringside table, Pamela Bowen captured a bit of the joy in this video of this trio of tunes from the evening.

We are especially happy that her video also recorded some pretty fancy footwork. Our favorite “dancin’ doctors” — Marshall professors Bonnie Lawrence and Clayton Brooks — were back in The Flood’s fold. We’ve missed you, folks!

Also you’ll see the littlest Floodster — Miss Ella O’Geary — busting her first moves to one of the band’s numbers. Just like old times. Seems like only yesterday Ella’s mom Zoey Stull O’Geary was the youngster dancing to our tunes at venues all across the state.

Song Histories

Incidentally, all three songs in Pamela’s video have been explored in our Song Stories section. Here are the specific links:

“Yellow Dog Blues”

“Rag Mama/Gimme Dat Ding”

“Jelly Roll Baker”
