  2. its been a long time but just so you know
    Sourkraut & Solar
    is actually Sauerkraut and Solar energy from the album Norman Blake/Tut Taylor/Sam Bush/Butch Robins/Vassar Clements/David Holland/Jethro Burns

    written by Sam Bush and Jethro Burns – Im sure that Sam brought it to Doc for this tour

    1. Sourkraut & Solar, as performed here may have been written by Sam Bush and Jethro Burns, but the melody is Sweet Georgia Brown, a jazz standard and pop tune composed in 1925 by Ben Bernie and Maceo Pinkard. A version similar to Doc’s was performed by Wayne Henderson & Jeff Little, North Carolina Museum of Art Amphitheater – Arts in the Museum Park, Raleigh, NC 6-30-12
