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? That’s right! Accordionist and songwriter Bobby Gregory. His is the first of three birthday segments on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. The other two birthdays we’ll be celebrating are those of Rube Bloom and Michael H. Cleary. Also, for no particular reason, we’ll have a segment of “stormy” songs. For no particular reason. And we’ll also have a set of songs about that thing. You know. That thing. No, not that thing, that thing! 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.
