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.

So why is there a photograph of a cow wearing a cowbell as the featured image on this week’s playlist for the show? Well, you’ll find out in the second segment as we hear a set of rapidly rotating records about cows. In other segments we’ll hear songs about cygnus olor have a segment about kings in general and one very specific king and celebrate Brian Lawrance’s birthday. 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.
