The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 180

Legends Mix

Today's allsorts brings us a few blues from the late twenties and some swing from the early forties - and some more in between and beyond. Also today, several singers that also made it to the silver screen - and a soundie where Louis Armstrong apparently can play the trumpet while taking it down.

There's more - a tornado, women working in America's defense industry and an illicit recording. Have fun!
