Thank you Shane for your kind and encouraging words. This video? http://youtu.be/D9M37qeA_oM

I teach another rendition on CD 4 Lesson 2 for 3 string CBG. Although, this could be possibly reduced down to 4 string CBG tuned DF#AD too. Enjoy.

"Louisiana 1927" by Randy Newman. Same flood, different state. I would upload it to here but I don't know how. Check it out if you can find it. I'm sure someone (Keni ?) who can sing better than me could do a CBG version of it.

I've gotta learn how to U-Tube one day. As Ray Wiley Hubbard would say "Some things are just cooler than hell" Keep the songs comming.

Thank you JUJU. I am not sure. Although, I believe this flood was the worst river flood in the history of the US to date. Charlie Patton sang about it too.  http://youtu.be/336dDZsU1Eg Due to the magnitude, I figure every  generation in Mississippi after him referred back to this same catastrophic event. Enjoy.
