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 the greatest banjo players of all time, the “Banjoist Supreme,” Harry Reser. His is one of three birthdays we’ll be celebrating on this week’s edition of the show, the others being Seymour Simons and Domenico Savino. In other segments we’ll try to come up with an alibi and take things to heart. 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.
