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.

In December of 2000, Congress passed the “National Moment of Remembrance” resolution, to re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day. It asks all Americans at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.” I hope you will take the opportunity to do just that.
