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 evening’s show, we’re going to celebrate the birthday of Dick Jurgens, who played right here at the Casino in Avalon, we’re going to have a house party, and venture into the deep blue sea.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: William Everhardt Collection
Last week I played “Sugar Plum” by George Olsen and His Music. That record was given to me by Ella Mae Cox from the collection of her late father, William Everhardt, and here are four more nice dance band records from that stack.

Turn on Your Radio – Ben Selvin and His Moulin Rouge Orchestra / Irving Kaufman, v.
Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie – Billy Murray
Look at those eyes – Waring’s Pennsylvanians / Tom Waring, v.
Darling – Abe Lyman and His California Orchestra

Segment 2: Dick Jurgens
January 9 marked the birth in Sacramento, California in 1910 of Dick Jurgens, Jr. – trumpeter, composer and bandleader.

Daydreams Come True at Night – Dick Jurgens Orchestra
Whispers in the Dark – Dick Jurgens Orchestra

Segment 3: House Party
January 15 in 1945, “House Party”, starring Art Linkletter, debuted on CBS radio. So here in commemoration are some songs about houses.

Let’s All Go To Mary’s House – Jay Whiddenand His Midnight Follies Band
Our Penthouse on Third Avenue – Gene Kardos and His Orchestra / Bea Wain, v.
Lighthouse Blues – Duke Yellman AHO

Segment 4: Sea Hunt
January 15 marked the birth in 1913 of actor Lloyd Bridges. I remember watching Bridges’ 1958 syndicated television series Sea Hunt, so here to commemorate his roll as ex-Navy frogman turned investigator are some songs about the sea.

Tidal Wave – Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra
There’s Oceans of Love (By the Beautiful Sea) – Russ Carlson and the High Steppers
Deep Sea Low Down – Bernie Cummins and his Hotel New Yorker Orchestra
