Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s.

Last week, I said there would be a special announcement about the show. I’m happy to announce that in addition to iTunes, the Rapidly Rotating Records podcast is now also available on Google Play Music, Stitcher, TuneIn and Spotify!

The permanent link to the show on Stitcher is: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=342794&refid=stpr 

If you haven’t yet seen it, we have a new online player on the Rapidly Rotating Records website which has new features, such as a download button, and transport control.

As for this week’s show, we’re going to spread some happiness, sunshine and rhythm. We’ll also take a musical trip to New Jersey, hear about some “Tillies” and, believe it or not, we’ll fulfill a request.

If you enjoy the show, please let us know by leaving a comment on the website or the Facebook page or sending an email to [email protected] And remember, your requests and topic segments are always welcome.
