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.

As the Village People sing, “It’s fun to stay in the YMCA” and in the first segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records, you’ll hear some history of the YMCA which you may not have been aware of. In other segments, we’ll be on our best behavior, celebrate Des Tooley’s birthday, play some songs the opposite of strength and tell you where you can put it! There’s plenty 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!
