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.

This is the second weekly playlist in a row in which a record label is the featured image rather that a photograph of an artist, composer or other historical figure. That’s because I couldn’t find a good photograph of either of our two birthday celebrants, Dick Burnett or Frank Quinn. We’re going to approach the third segment with reckless abandon and in the final segment, we’ll enjoy some pudding. The fourth segment has to do with blossoms and ends with the record pictured above. It really has nothing to do with flower or plant blossoms, but you can see why it’s included. There are 27 railroads mentioned in “Time Table Blues,” including 13 referred to only by their initials. See how many of them you can name. 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.

THANKS FOR LISTENING! ENJOY THE SHOW!
