A note on ALT (alternative) shows

While running the Legends of the Rocking Dutchman on WOYW (Oldiesyourway.com, now Good Time Oldies), I found out that the license of this station did not allow for more than three tracks of one artist in an hour. This made it impossible for several of the episodes to be aired on this station: the one-artist sets, the Rolling Stones Blues example special and the number one hits shows on the years 1945 to 1948, the latter because of the success of Louis Jordan who had way too many hits in these years.

For this, I made alternative shows that do fit the three-song requirement. Other radio stations interested to air the Legends of the Rocking Dutchman are free to choose between the regular or the alt shows.

You'll find these alternative shows only in the first half year of this program. I love this work, but I hate to have to do things twice :-)
