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 what this structure is? You’ll find out in the first segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records, having to do with wheels. In other segments we’ll do some knocking, get back to nature, try to get along and have yet another episode 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.
