Thanks five-string, We live on high ground but no more than five blocks from the Rio Grande, many people who live in the low areas have been evacuated.

I guess I am gonna have to work up a version of "Texas Flood" now.

Here's another "sort of" blues, though some might call it gospel: "God Moves on the Water" It's from the singing of Blind Willie Johnson in the late 20's, but I don't stick close to his version. Tom Berghan suggested I try my hand at this one.

Don't know if anyone mentioned Doc Watson...but he's performed some nice ones on 5-string too.
