To
keep our cred as West Virginia’s most eclectic string band, we feel
obliged to continue drawing material from as many diverse sources as
possible, such as, in this case, the 1960s’ most electrified jug
band. John Sebastian’s folk rock group called “The Lovin’
Spoonful,” which took its name from a great Mississippi John Hurt
song (but that’s another story), was also quite eclectic. It drew
many of its melodies and themes from early 20th century roots music,
from jug band to country. The Flood has just started playing with
this wonderful old John Sebastian composition, “Darlin’
Companion.” Here's where's Flood arrangement stands, as played at
last night's rehearsal.
