The Dutchman. Back in the early 1980s, when he was still playing regularly with the band he helped start, Rog Samples brought this great Michael Smith tune to The Flood after learning it from a Steve Goodman album. Well, now, of course, Rog has been away from The Flood for more than 25 years and the song was forgotten for a while, tucked away in the band's foggy long-term memory. But recently the guys have dusted it off again, and it often gets trotted out at the end of a long evening's jam session. So, this is The Flood 3.0's version of "The Dutchman," with solos by Doug Chaffin, Sam St. Clair and Joe Dobbs. Dave Ball (Bub) is on bass here. Alas, Brother Peyton wasn't at this session, so we didn't get his Autoharp on this track.
