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.

Rapidly Rotating Records is a G-rated family show, but we push the envelope this week in the fourth segment with a set of songs about “the world’s oldest profession,” including the one above by Georgia White. In other segments, we’ll have some Presidential fanfare, we’ll hear some tunes about rubus fruticosus (blackberries!) and express some emphatic affirmations.   There’s lots of great music and interesting information so… 

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!
