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.

On this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records we’ll be celebrating the birthdays of Thomas Allen and Louis Mitchell. With apologies to Neal Sedaka, we’ll also commemorate “International Break Up Day” with a set of songs about breaking up! We’ll have a set of songs by some “Wileys” and as an educational public service, we’ll have another RRR Vocabulary Lesson in which the record above figures prominently. 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. Click on the player above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
