Dave -- thanks for the kind words! And some of us stateside are very grateful to our Brit brothers for keeping the old-time flame alive when so many of our countrymen forgot the clasics. And we'll never forget that in 1966 it was through the efforts of subscribers to a British country music magazine that a tombstone featuring a banjo was placed on Charlie Poole's grave in North Carolina.

So glad you enjoyed it. We've loved that song for decades!

Ah, yes, the late Joe Dobbs helped us form our band 50 years ago and played with us for four decades. We were blessed, indeed.

Thank you for the kind note!

So glad you enjoyed it, John!

Aw, thank you, luv! Such sweet memories for all of us.

It was and is an honor. We're glad you enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed it too, buddy. We'll do it again!

Yes. She danced in college and graduated from Virginia Radford University with a degree in dance education and communication. She was a dance instructor in Raleigh after graduation.

Mr. Scarberry -- thank you so very much for those kind words. Margaret was such a dear heart and a remarkable talent. As noted in the video, for The Flood she was in two widely separated chapters in our lives -- back in the '70s, when she played in a trio with Floodsters Joe Dobbs and Bill Hoke and then again a few years ago when she popped back up for us. What wonderful times we had together. We miss her very much.

hank you, dear friend, for the kind comments. And I’m right there with you on the age and consequential factual fogginess thing. On this tune, I did do a bit of a deep dive for an earlier issue. You might be interested in this: 1937flood.substack.com/p/corrina-corrina I was amazed what an interesting story Corrina had to tell! :)

Thank you so much for being there! Looking at your smiling faces always makes it better. :)

So happy that you liked it, Michael. That means a lot.

Yvonne -- it was so wonderful seeing you again. We're delighted that you had a good time partying with The Flood. We'll be back at Sal's on Saturday, April 22. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for bring there, luv. We always play better when we're looking into your smiling face!

Aw, thank you so much, Lou! How kind of you to say that. Yes, Bromberg was one of our earliest heroes. In fact, might be interested in this piece we put in our free newsletter earlier this month. Enjoy! 1937flood.substack.com/p/suffer-to-sing-the-blues

@@CEBowen-ej8ri O.K. so I checked out the newsletter piece. Yeah I remember going to the record store when I was around 11 yrs. old. Didn't often have enough money to but anything but we had the " charts " to show which tunes were doing well. Those were the days, as the song says. May I ask you to subscribe to my RUclips channel ? I am one of your new subsribers already. Regards , Lou { are you guys based in Kentucky ? }

@@LouStClair -- Actually, we're based in Huntington, WV -- right on the Kentucky-Ohio-WV border -- but we have long-time Kentucky connection. For instance, my wife, Pamela, and I grew up in Ashland and we lived in Lexington in the '60s while I was finishing up at UK. BTW, Lou, you might have a cousin in our band. Sam St. Clair, our harmonicat, has been playing with The Flood for 20 years now.

We've never stopped listening to Ian. We fell in love with Ian & Sylvia all those years ago and we are better people today for having known that wonderful music.

We are so happy you liked it, Lou. We're all of the same generation and I'm so grateful to have had Ian Tyson's music in my life's soundtrack! Thanks for the comment.

We are so happy that you liked the video. For more than a half century, Ian's music has been a big part of our lives too and we were grateful to do our little part in saying farewell to him.

@@CEBowen-ej8ri My favourite Ian Tyson songs are “Summer Wages” and “Eighteen inches of Rain”. Happy New Year to you all.

@@billlafferty8986 Happy New Year to you too, Bill. I love those tunes too. Honestly, tho, for me it’s hard to choose even a DOZEN favorite Ian Tyson songs. I love “Red Velvet,” but then also there's “Navajo Rug” and "The French Girl" and "Play One More." And I always thought he and Sylvia never got enough critical praise for their Great Speckled Bird period, a sound that was very much ahead of its time, I thought. And there were very cool songs on that first GSB album. “Calgary,” “Long Long Time to Get Old,” (not to mention Sylvia’s “Trucker’s Cafe”). So very much good music!

Ah, I'm so glad you liked it, JoAnn! And, hey, if you've not already seen it, you might want to check out our newsletter entry about this one. The song has a pretty interesting history: 1937flood.substack.com/p/these-days

We're so glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas from the hills and valleys of Appalachia!

Yes, Veezy had a gig that was already scheduled for that night. However, she should be available when we return to Sal's next month.

Ah, luv -- I think about you and Bob whenever we do this song. :)
