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.

So why is there a birthday cake pictured above instead of a vintage composer or artist? This week is a special edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. Not that they aren’t *all* special, but this one is *VERY* special because it’s our 21ST ANNIVERSARY SHOW! The first RRR broadcast was July 26, 2000 and we’ve been here on KISL ever since. The first segment of the show will be a birthday celebration with records about being 21. And what can you do when you’re 21? That’s right! Drink and gamble! So there will be songs about those activities, both in moderation, of course! In addition to the show’s birthday, we’ll also be celebrating the birthday of Guy Wood. And in the final segment we’ll play a record which was supposed to be played last week, but this week will lead off a segment about castles. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage, relax and be magically transported back to an earlier (and we think better!) musical era. But most important… 

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!
