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 Irish fiddler and singer Packie Dolan. You’ll find out a bit about his short life in the first segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. And his is just one of four birthday celebrations this week, the others for Fred Rich, Isham Jones and Eddie Cantor. And after those, we’ll be on our way. 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.
