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 violinist, bandleader and vocalist Joseph Sudy. We’re a little late in celebrating his birthday, which was August 1, but better late than never, as they say. We’ll also be celebrating Al Piantadosi’s birthday in the first segment of the show. In between, we’ll have a “ped planus” segment, we’ll pick some cotton and have a listening party. 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.
