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 week’s show we’re going to celebrate the birthdays of Harry J. Lincoln and Benny Meroff. We’ll also celebrate Helen Trix’ birthday by visiting “La La Land.” And we’ll pick some violets, but not “Sweet Violets!” The final segment of the show is dedicated to all those folks anywhere in the grocery supply chain who are working extra hard and putting themselves at risk so that the rest of us can have food on the table. So we’ll be taking a musical trip to the grocery store.

I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes!

Thank you for your very kind attention!

Enjoy the show!
