Roving thunderstorms did not deter a roomful of diehard Flood fans from coming out to party at Huntington’s good ol’ Bahnhof WVrsthau & Biergarten on Thursday night. And as usual, band manager Pamela Bowen was faithfully at a ringside table to capture some video.

These three tunes illustrate the diversity of the evening’s fare, opening with a century-old number that your sassy Grandpa probably sang, followed by a swinging instrumental on a 1940s jazz standard and wrapping up with a 1920s Charlie Poole tune that he had to have picked up in New Orleans.

Backstories on each of the songs have been covered in previous Flood Watch articles. Here are those links if you want to bone up in case there’s a pop quiz at the next Flood affair:

* “I Wonder Where My Easy Rider’s Gone”

* “Opus One”

* “Didn’t He Ramble?”
