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, composer, producer, jazz historian and author, journalist and educator, Leonard Feather. He was supposed to have his own birthday segment on last week’s show but got  “bumped” by our tribute to Phil Schaap. So this week, he gets not one, but TWO segments, one featuring his bands and another featuring his music played by others. In other segments, we’ll get our minimum daily requirement of vitamin C, visit the village smithie and see what we can find.  There’s lots of great music and interesting information so…
