"Hard Times (Who Knows Better Than I)"

 Rehearsal is always important, of course, but sometimes leaving a song alone for a while also has interesting effects. It’s been probable a year or more since this Ray Charles classic made an appearance at a Flood rehearsal. But it turns out the song hasn’t been stagnating. It was obvious when the song finally did roll around again, it had been percolating in everyone’s memory and all kind of exciting new ideas came out in the solos.
