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.

Normally we celebrate a lot of birthdays on this show, and we’ll be celebrating Charles Dornberger, Charles Kaley, Henry Creamer and the State of Arkansas this week. But I’m aftaid we’ll also be making note of a death. That of Dame Vera Lynn, who passed away this past week at the ripe old age of 103. She’s been heard on the show only six times before because most of her records were made after 1940, but we start this week’s show with a brief biography and a trio of her earlier recordings.

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!
