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? You hear him regularly on the show and he probably made more records during the 78 Era than any other bandleader. He is, of course, violinist and bandleader Ben Selvin and his is one of four birthdays we’ll be celebrating on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. You’ll also hear from and about Joe Daniels, Joseph Samuels and Irving Kahal. And we’ll have yet another episode of “One Thing in Common.” 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.
