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.

Yeah, I thought this photo would get your attention! Do you know who this person is? She’s German dancer, pantomime, cabaret artist, actress and performance artist Valeska Gert. And she will finish our this week’s show in a segment about “types” as in “you’re my type.” This first show of 2026 starts off with a birthday segment for Jerry Blaine. We’ll also have a vocabulary lesson, hear chirping and tweeting of some birds, hear some news, and do some typing on the typewriter. 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.
