The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 68

Legends Mix

Again a much varied list of goodies for today to play - well as you're pretty much used of this program, I suppose. Today's mix includes: singing inmates of a prison, a blues shouter that survived the rock 'n roll craze, a jumping version of a classic Grieg composition, a female blues singer that should have been listed with the greatest of the blues singers and a husband-and-wife that got famous with their musical comedy show. That should do for variety.
