Welcome to the Legends of the Rockin' Dutchman, the program that takes you back to the forties and fifties. The war was just over, America was booming and optimistic, and African American sounds were shaping popular music for the whole world as Rock 'n Roll was just to be invented.
That great building blocks music, the Rhythm and Blues, would soon be overlooked and sink into oblivion. But not on this syndicated radio program, where I showcase that influential and important music from the forties and fifties.
The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman is a one-hour show featuring forties and fifties Rhythm 'n Blues. A growing number of episodes is available; in total, I'll make at least 52 of them, enough for a weekly show for a full year. Yet you may broadcast them at any frequency you like, e.g. fortnightly, as long as I can keep up producing them.
Some of my shows will be themed, others will be just a mixed bag of tunes. Examples of themes will be: juicy lyrics in R&B, vocal groups, dance craze songs, the great saxophonists, instrumentals, the bluesmen, booze songs, and others.
None of the shows will contain references to acualities, dates, happenings unless customized and therefore can always be broadcasted.
