The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 206

Double-siders

Today you'll get a mix of music that has one thing in common - all tracks were too long to fit one side of a 78, and so they were split over the two sides. These double-siders make that I have to squeeze an even number of sides in the hour - so 18 instead of 17 - and so you'll get a whole lot of music and not too much of my talking. You may decide for yourself if that's a good thing.

Today's set brings us two blues duets, one of them for sure and the other one maybe featuring Victoria Spivey. Blues duets are pretty rare, and of the handful I know of, most involve Spivey and also, a lot of them are double-siders.
