Dopey, Happy, and a cold-blooded killer. Yes, Disney's 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was quite the mix of spectacle, song, and skull-filled dungeons. Yet we remember it as fun for the whole family. But now, nearly 90 years later, how does this hand-drawn delight hold up in our Pixar'ed world? Do the doodles feel dated? Is all the death talk too much by today's G-Rated standards? And why does that catty Magic Mirror have such a chip on his shoulder?

She's the fairest but she isn't always the brightest. We get into the making of and nitty gritty details of 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the FIRST DISNEY ANIMATED FEATURE FILM. As we talk plot and marvel at this animated classic, we also ask the hard questions: Did inhaling a bar of soap kill Dopey? Is Grumpy just a misogynist? What kind of message does this movie send to girls and women... and to men too?

Have you ever paused to wonder why we often neglect the relationships that matter most? This episode of the American Soul Podcast promises a heartfelt exploration of the foundational bonds with God and our spouses. As we navigate societal norms that often sideline these vital connections, we reflect on a timeless Christmas message from FDR in 1937, which beautifully illustrates the tension between the ideals of peace and the harsh realities of the world. Through this historical lens, we are called to realign our actions with our professed priorities, embracing hope for brotherhood even amidst conflict.Join us on this journey where we challenge Christians to embody Christ's teachings of universal love, transcending personal biases and societal divisions. Through thought-provoking discussions on biblical parables and the essence of Christian love and salvation, we question common notions and encourage embracing faith that includes everyone. We also spotlight the importance of defending the vulnerable, particularly women and children, urging active intervention against abuse and violence. With a focus on faith and community strength, we end with blessings for families and the anticipation of future conversations that inspire change.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
The Flood time machine touched down in 1961 last week to toy with a tune from our youth.
Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn team up for a hilarious comedy involving dinosaur bones, leopards, and constant wardrobe changes! Robin and Jenn discuss how Grant and Hepburn became the dream team for four legendary films, the amazing characterization of the Bringing Up Baby characters, and perhaps an argument for the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. You don't want to miss this screwball comedy.*Robin mentions Sylvia Scarlett and She's The Man being adaptations of "Twelfth Night," by Shakespeare, but she meant to refer to "As You Like It," in which Rosalind disguises herself as a peasant boy while wooing her love interest.https://www.instagram.com/realoldreels/
Some songs in our repertoire we do only when “The Chick Singer” — Floodster emerita Michelle Hoge — is in the room. Our take on this good old Ivory Joe Hunter classic is at the top of that list. This track is from last December when Michelle had driven in from her Cincinnati area home to rehearse with us in preparation for our big “Flood at 50” New Year's Eve birthday bash at Alchemy Theatre. Just listen to Michelle rocking those vocal harmonies, as always.
You never really forget the songs of your youth. Charlie was 10 years old in the summer of ‘59 when this tune hit the radio. It was such a hoot to take it for a spin at a recent Flood rehearsal.
We're late to the party on this tune. Bob Dylan wrote this more than a quarter of century ago, but we just started doing it a few weeks ago. However, it's suddenly landed solidly in the repertoire. Here's our take on “Make You Feel My Love.”
We've been doing this song for a very long time, and it's always different, depending on who's in the room. In this rendition from a rehearsal a few weeks ago, our man Danny Cox makes it special with his signature guitar stylings.
The Flood has been doing versions of this song for decades. This rendition was the first song of the evening at a Flood rehearsal a few weeks ago. Riding on the infectious rhythm laid down by Randy Hamilton and Jack Nuckols and framing the solos by Danny Cox and Sam St. Clair, the number heralded a particularly fun evening at the Bowen house.
This song took a very long road on its journey to Floodlandia. The first time it was played in our band room was more than a dozen years ago on a mellow autumn night when our friends Randy Hamilton and Paul Martin dropped in to jam with us. Now, neither was a member of The Flood yet — Randy would join the following year and Paul a few years after that — but their song was the hit of the evening. However, the tune never worked its way into the repertoire — until just recently. A couple of weeks ago, Danny Cox just happened to start picking the tune between songs on the night's practice list and the melody really jingled in our memories. After that, Dan and Randy got together to woodshed a little, working out an arrangement, and at last week's rehearsal they popped it on the rest of us. With joy, everybody joined in.
“Sweet Georgia Brown” entered The Flood's repertoire soon after the band began in the 1970s and in the ensuing decades the tune has come back into the playlist again and again, serving as a sweet showcase for dozens of Flood soloists over the years. This latest rendition, recorded at a rehearsal just last week, has Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton, Sam St. Clair and Jack Nuckols all taking the tune for a spin.

It was 15 years ago when Sam St. Clair brought us this tune, and it quickly became his theme song. Ever since then, “Ain't No Free” has been a beloved standard in many a Flood show. So, of course, the song had to have a place in honor several weeks ago at our big New Year's Eve birthday bash at Alchemy Theatre.
Here's a tune with some mighty deep roots in the Floodisphere. Two decades after our heroes, The Coasters, released this song in July 1957, The Flood started fiddling with it on another summer night. After that, though, it went to sleep again for, oh, a half century or so. Then not long ago, it popped back into our minds. Right away, Randy Hamilton started singing harmony on the chorus. Suddenly the song is back, evolving into a fine vehicle for Jack Nuckols' cool drumming and tasty solos by Danny Cox and everyone else in the room. Even visiting pickers. For instance, on this track, Floodster Emeritus Paul Martin dropped in with his mandolin. Just listen to how slowly he jumped right into the mix!
Whenever our old friend Paul Martin is back in the room — or, better still, on the bandstand with us, as he was for our big “Flood at 50” big birthday bash — we always get him to take us on a ride on is favorite Bob Dylan tune.
Ever since it came together decades ago, The Flood has always sought a rich diversity in its repertoire. So late last year when Danny Cox asked, “Has the band ever done the song ‘Sunny'?” he heard an invitation in the enthusiasm of the answer: “no.” So, Danny worked out the chords, Jack took up the rhythm, we turned the vocals over to Randy, and suddenly the song is in the works. In fact, it's even picking up fans among the visitors. On this particular track, for instance, Floodster Emeritus Paul Martin happened to be in the room and happily took a ride on one of the choruses. Here's the progress report, then, on Project Sunny.
Here's a tune we always trot out whenever we feel a party coming on. So you can bet we'll have it on the set list this weekend for our big “Flood at 50” birthday bash on New Year's Eve at Alchemy Theatre. That's a night we're so eager for that we actually started putting this song through its paces earlier this month. For instance, here's our take on the tune from a joyous night at Sal's Speakeasy in Ashland just a few weeks ago. Remember, we're at Alchemy Theatre this Sunday night, 69 Holley Avenue in the beautiful hills of Huntington, WV. The birthday bash starts at 7:30 and runs all the way to the champagne toast to the new year at midnight. All the details are on our new website: Floodat50.com. Come on out. We're going share memories — and make a whole bunch of new ones!
Okay, we have a Christmas confession to make. Honestly, we don't really care that much for Christmas music. Oh, we're not scrooges or anything — well, a few of us are — but it's mainly it's just the nature of Christmas songs themselves. The chord patterns are not especially easy to remember and since you only them for a week or two every year, you don't ever get a chance to get cozy with them. Plus, well, frankly Christmas tunes generally don't swing. (Try to put a beat behind “Little Town of Bethlehem” and there will be repercussions….) But here's one that does fit the Flood groove nice, especially with the merriest of our merry band — Danny Cox and Floodster Emeritus Michelle Hoge — leading the way. We hope you DO have yourself a merry little Christmas.
When we roll in tomorrow night for our latest gig at Sal's Speakeasy in Ashland, Ky., we're bringing with us one of our all time favorite party tunes. The song we call “You Got Me Slippin'” is loosely based on a classic Jimmy Reed tune from 65 years ago at the dawn of rock 'n' roll.
Nominally, this is a traditional song about abandoned love, but back in the 1960s when she reworked it, the late Jean Ritchie wrote new lyrics that went well beyond that to the larger theme of loss in general. Because of those deeper expressions, The Flood has often thought of this tune in times of our darkest grief, and we've even sung it at more than one graveside. So, it's only natural for us to be thinking of it again these days with death of our own dear companion, Doug Chaffin. He absolutely loved playing this song. So, here's to you, Doug.
We started doing the song in the mid-1990s, right after we heard it on a then-new Bob Dylan album. We were looking for an easy, happy little tune that we can warm up on, letting everybody just stretch out a little. Well, nowadays it just as likely to turn up as a last song of the night — as it was here at a recent rehearsal — putting a bow on a great evening of music.
It's a kind of counter-love song — a great anthem to angst — and George Gershwin's “But Not For Me” was ahead of its time. He and his brother Ira wrote the thing in 1930 for a popular stage musical called “Girl Crazy.” But it didn't make the Billboard charts until a dozen years later — after George's death, in fact — when Harry James and his orchestra got to Number 12 with it. Last week was The Flood's first fling with the tune. See what you think.
Charlie played this song for Dave Peyton on the first night they jammed together at a New Year's Eve party 50 years ago. It was the one of the best tunes in their repertoire for their earliest gigs. After that, though, the song dropped out of the mix for many decade, but the one night this fall — help! — it came wandering back. On this track from a recent rehearsal, Charlie's on banjo, Jack's on bongos, Randy's singing harmony and Danny's playing those sweet, sweet solos.
We have several new tunes to bring tomorrow night for our latest gig at Sal's Speakeasy in Ashland, Ky., including this one that the great Ray Henderson wrote almost a hundred years ago. This song was first recorded by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra in the mid-1920s, but its real claim to fame came 15 years later when it was the title tune for a beloved Bing Crosby movie that was released on the eve of America's entry into World War II. Here's “Birth of the Blues.”
There's a reason why The Flood's rendition of this Dylan classic sounds different from Bobby's version — or anyone else's take on the tune, for that matter. That's because back in the early 1980s, when Roger and Charlie started playing around with opening chord progression here, they thought they were writing an original song of their own. But then Rog and his family moved away — leaving West Virginia for the green hills of Kentucky — and the piece they were working on was left an orphan. It didn't even have a name or the first hints of a lyric. Only a year or so later, when Charlie was noodling with it at a jam session did Dave Peyton say, “Hey, you know what? If you tweaked the chords a bit and added the bridge, you could sing that Dylan thing over that!” And right there and then, an arrangement was born, and we've been playing it like this ever since.
This sassy Lonnie Johnson song was written and recorded 80 years ago as a rhythm and blues hit, but we owe our version to our folk music heroes of the 1960s. To this day, it's one of those perfect warmup tunes for us, because it provides plenty of stretching-out room for solos by everyone in the house, Danny and Sam, Randy and Jack.
Wow, Jack Nuckols' drumming has brought a whole new class of cool to the old band room. Whether it's his tasty solos, or rocking along with Randy Hamilton's bass under Charlie Bowen's vocals, or making his wise and witty contributions to the ensemble supporting Danny Cox and Sam St. Clair's solos, Jack's rhythms have got us all wanting to get up and dance. Just listen to what he brings to this old hokum song from the late 1920s.
This Bob Dylan classic has been in the Floodisphere forever — Roger and Charlie used to sing it together a half century ago — but only recently has it made a move to be in the regular repertoire. That's when Randy stepped to sing his signature harmonies and Danny and Sam started doing double duty on the solos.
It's the end of a fun evening at the Bowen house, but nobody is quite ready to quit yet. Jack starts padding a cool swing rhythm on the house bongos and Randy jumps in with a bass line that fits it to a T. Charlie gets the chords going, just as Danny flies in with that cool melody over Sam's smooth harmonica fills. Now, it's a tune that's not really in our repertoire. It's more like an old friend who drops by way too infrequently, but when he does, everyone in the room is happy to see him. Here's “Opus One.”
When our friend, the remarkable percussionist Jack Nuckols, dropped in to visit with the band last week, we immediately drew him into the circle. First, we passed him the house bongos to play, but when a jug band tune came around, we put spoons in his hands. Jack was rocking it hard, we were digging on those rhythmic riffs and just as we were fixing to turn it over to him for a solo, darned if those spoons didn't break in his hands. Now, Jack was apologetic, but — as you'll hear — we all thought it was a hoot! What better way to end a song called, “Tear It Down”?

Here's a tune that has drifted in and out of The Flood repertoire many times over the years. It drifted back in recently when we gathered on a sultry summer night that had a decidedly New Orleans tang to it. Here's our take on “Buddy Bolden's Blues.”
Our latest Duke Ellington number is a great vehicle for sassy solos by everyone in the band. Here's “I'm Beginning to See the Light.”
Well, this has been Bowen's “Banjo Summer.” In early June, he dropped in to visit Paul Callicoat at Route 60 Music and, on a whim, Charlie traded an old guitar he had for a shiny new five-string that he spied on the wall there. Charlie didn't know a thing about banjo, but he started watching some videos he found on YouTube from the remarkable Dr. Josh Turknett and his “Brainjo Academy.” He practice a bit every day and has been having an absolute ball. Now, we don't think he'll ever been an especially proficient player — honestly, banjo seems to be something you could study the rest of your life and still have more to learn — but… well, we remember a line in an old song that said, “I can be the doctor 'til the doctor comes…” We think the same could be said about banjo players. Here, from a recent rehearsal, was Charlie's first bit of banjocity with the band, on a great old Tommy Thompson tune.
We always try to have a few novelty tunes in our back pocket to lighten the mood at shows — or just to amuse ourselves at the weekly rehearsals. And this one, of course, is how we get all that big grant money, because it's about history. Well, sort of…. There is some dispute about whether George Washington actually played the ukulele, but we do think it may have known a few red-hot mamas…
This song has marvelous lyrics by the great Johnny Mercer, as Floodster Emerita Michelle Hoge demonstrates whenever she's in the room. But she's not here to sing it, the song also is an extraordinary vehicle as an instrumental. Here from last week's rehearsal, Danny Cox lays down a lovely melody, then his old friend and our guest for the evening — Bob Murnahan, in town for a visit from his Colorado home — takes a couple of choruses to mine gold in all those cool chords.
Twenty years ago this summer, we were in the midst of planning our third studio album, when our friend and producer, the late George Walker, showed up with a rare Cootie Williams recording. George thought this novelty tune would a good fit for us. We fell in love with it and learned it in time for the recording session. Ever since then, whenever this song comes to mind, as it did at a recent Flood rehearsal, our thoughts race back to our good times with you, George.

For this old folk song, we follow the well-established narrative about a love affair that goes tragically wrong, but we take a lot of liberties with the traditional melody. Well, our unique tune goes back the very beginnings of The Flood. When Dave Peyton and Charlie Bowen were just starting out as a duet a half century ago, they found that odd string of chords seem to set just right with their simple guitar and Autoharp accompaniment. Since then over the years, every configuration of The Flood has found something new to add to that basic original arrangement. And it's still happening. Just listen to this take from last week's Flood rehearsal and to what Danny Cox and Sam St. Clair have contributed with their solos.
This song has been in The Flood's repertoire for about 30 years now. Early on, it was an instrumental showcase for Joe Dobbs' fiddle. Then about a decade or so, it was part of Michelle Hoge's remarkable songbag of ballads and swing tunes. Lately, Randy Hamilton has taken over the lead vocals. On this track from last week's rehearsal, Charlie Bowen brings a little harmony and Danny Cox finds all kinds of interesting opportunities for guitar goodies in those cool old chords.
Roger Samples and Charlie Bowen worked out our arrangement of this old tune about 50 years ago. We sang and played it at many parties and jam sessions, but then it remained retired for the next three or four decades. That is until one night this summer when the tune popped into Charlie's mind during a weekly rehearsal. Right away, Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton and Sam St. Clair jumped in and gave new life to an old number.
When we roll into Sal's Speakeasy tomorrow night for our monthly gig, we'll be bringing with us a tune that has been rocking audiences for more than eight decades. And that, brothers and sisters, is the definition of a hit! It's a Duke Ellington composition that was given a whole new lease on life through some evocative lyrics by the great Bob Russell.
“Bright Star” — the musical in which we've been honored to be perform as the house band this summer — wraps up this weekend, and we'll be performing the last of our nightly pre-shows starting this evening. For our little pre-show sets, we've sought out old folk songs that complement the play's new original music. Here's the song we like to end our set with, a rollicking, silly number about a ramblin' rascal named Buster. We learned it from a 1920s recording by the great Charlie Poole, but the song actually dates back the late 19th Century.
We in The Flood are honored and thrilled to be invited by Mike Murdock and Nora Ankrom to be part of their brilliant Alchemy Theater production of the new musical, “Bright Star.” This evening is opening night, where we join the extraordinary Mark Smith and John Kinley in the show's house band. In addition, Mike and Nora have asked The Flood to do a few songs in a pre-show at each performance. Now, since trains play such an important part in the “Bright Star” story, we'll certainly be including this one, perhaps the greatest train song of all times.
“The folk process” is a term that Charles Seeger came up with to describe the tendency of songs to change a little — or a lot — as they are passed from person to person over the years. It's a process that greatly pleases us in The Flood, because we've always done everything we can to put our own stamp on every song we do. Here, for instance, it's no real secret that our version of this tune has only a nodding acquaintance with the original that the great Elizabeth Cotten wrote with her grandchildren some 60 years old. It grew out of a recent Flood jam at which a riff Charlie started noodling with on his new resonator guitar had him remembering that old Fred Neil take on the Libba Cotten song. In a flash, Dan and Sam were bringing their own magic to the moment.
