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 one of my favorite pianists and composers, Billy Mayerl (pronounced “Merrill”) and you’ll hear him perform one of his super syncopations in the fourth segment of this week’s show having to do with “punching!” In other segments, we’ll celebrate the birthdays of Fleta Jan Brown and Mildred Hunt. We’ll also so some asking and get drunk. Don’t worry, just musically. 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.
