In 1983 het David Kramer die liedjie, “Die Ballade van Koos Sas”, opgeneem en op die langspeelplaat “Hanepootpad” uitgegee. David het die kopbeen van die berugte Sas in die Montagu-museum gesien en dit het hom geïnspireer om die ballade te skryf.

Hierdie musiekstuk vertel die storie van die berugte Koos Sas wat aan die begin van die vorige eeu in die Montagu-omgewing gewoon het en gereeld in die moeilikheid met die gereg was.

The Karoo Kitaar Blues experience has been the inspiration for this collection of songs. It is essentially about the exploration of roots music that evolved in these dry and isolated regions. It is about the lives and the history of the people and the place. About the forgotten writers, composers and players who remain anonymous because their endeavours were not recorded by historians.
