Flood Road's Chris Schultz took a little solo time out during a break at one of the band's shows. The Flood Road Boys were at the Troy Farmer's Market to do their final outdoor gig of the 2009 season. The day was rainy, and temperatures were in the upper 40's. "The Professor" wanted to keep his hands warm with a little pickin'. We think he accomplished the mission. Recorded by J. Peter Yakel on October 24, 2009 in Troy, NY. All rights reserved.
