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 lady is? She’s Anna Jarvis. “Who’s Anna Jarvis?” I hear you ask. She’s the originator of Mother’s Day, You’ll find out a bit about her and the holiday in the third segment of this week’s show. To start off, we’ll be celebrating the birthday of composer Alfred Solman. In other segments, we’ll have a vocabulary lesson, take a long leap off a short pier, and in the final segment we’ll play the blame game. 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.
