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.

One of the reasons I do this show is that every single week I learn something new and interesting. In doing research for the show, I often get sidetracked or go off on tangents and find out something I wasn’t expecting. That happened a lot more than usual on this particular show, so there’s a lot of commentary, and I hope you find the information as fun and interesting as I do. For example, in the second segment of this week’s show you’ll find out what the raised rim of a table on a boat or ship is called! But there’s still plenty of great music. This week’s show starts off with a birthday salute to composer Henry R. Cohen, and in other segments, we’ll have a vocabulary lesson, play possum and go down to the boardwalk. ENJOY THE SHOW!

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!
