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? He’s pianist and composer William F. Wirges and his is one of three birthdays we’ll be celebrating on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. The other two are Benjamin Hapgood Burt and Justin Ring. In other segments, we’ll take a musical trip to “The City by the Bay” and hear about some pairings. 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.
