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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is the first Rapidly Rotating Records broadcast of 2019! I hope you had pleasant holidays and that the new year so far promises to be a good one for you. It certainly does here at the massive Rapidly Rotating Records / KISL-FM studio complex. This week we’ll celebrate the birthdays of James Melton, Jane Green, Carroll Gibbons and the state of Georgia. We’ll also have a “non-topic” topic. What’s that, you ask? Well, records I came across while putting the play list together out of which I couldn’t make a unified topic. Unlike our feature “For No Particular Reason,” there is a reason I’m playing each of them, and of course, you’ll find out just why that is.

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: James Melton

Do I Hear You Saying “I Love You” – Fred Rich and His Hotel Astor Orchestra / James Melton, v.

Segment 2: Jane Green

Me And The Boyfriend – Nat Shilkret and The Victor Orchestra / Jane Green, v.

Segment 3: Georgia Statehood

Georgia Cabin Door – Benson Orchestra of Chicago

Segment 4: Carroll Gibbons

So Rare – Carroll GIbbons and The Savoy Hotel Orpheans / George Melachrino, v.

Segment 5: Non-Topic

Gid-ap, Garibaldi – Jazz Pilots
