Spring Saturday Afternoon in Charleston

Whenever Floodster Emerita Michelle Hoge makes one of her rare treks back to West Virginia, it’s a good excuse to try to land a gig somewhere at which the band’s beloved “chick singer” can be the guest star.This time the good folks at Charleston’s Edgewood Summit retirement community accommodated that mission, and yesterday the entire Family Flood rolled into that gorgeous facility for an afternoon of tunes, laughs and stories.Sitting in front row, Flood manager Pamela Bowen shots video. Here are four numbers from the show. Incidentally, if you’d like the history of these four tunes, here are links to earlier articles in the newsletter’s Song Stories section:* “Peggy Day”* “My Blue Heaven”* “All of Me”* “Up a Lazy River”Yesterday’s gig was a return visit to Edgewood for The Flood. Michelle and the band had a similar music party there in October 2023. Click here if you’d like to see a video from that earlier do. This is a public episode.
