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.

This week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records starts off with a birthday salute to composer Bert Van Cleve. The rest of the show will be an episode of “One Thing in Common.” That’s where we play records which seemingly have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, but in fact, have “one thing in common.” An example would be a set of songs from the same Broadway show or Hollywood movie. But tonight’s “One Thing in Common” won’t be nearly that easy. In fact, don’t even try to guess, since there are only a few people in Cincinatti and a couple in Pittsburgh who will get this right away. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you the common thread at the end of the show. I especially enjoy playing records being heard on the show for the first time, and that’s the case with several. So get yourself an adult beverage, sit back, relax and 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!
