Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t not tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

Do you know who this fellow is? He’s vaudeville star, accordionist and composer Count Guido Pietro Deiro and he starts off this week’s show with his rendition of Hans von Holstein’s tune, “Hong Kong: The Chinese Love Song” in a “Hong Kong” segment. In other segments, we’ll celebrate Blossom Seeley’s birthday and hear three more from Percy Chandler, We’ll also do some lounging at the Waldorf and in the final segment chase the blues away. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
