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 dapper fellow is? He’s British bandleader Victor Silvester and you’ll hear him finish up the first segment of this week’s Rapidly Rotating Records all about counting. In other segments, we’ll do some spelling, celebrate Hoke Rice’s birthday, bask in the glow and have yet another edition of “One Thing in Common.” 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.
