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? Of course you do, because his name’s right on the photograph! He’s bandleader Lloyd Huntley who is getting his first birthday salute in the second segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. In other segments, we’ll hear about some volunteers, engage in some antics with semantics, take a musical tour of California and celebrate National Curmudgeon Day! 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.
