The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 14 September 2003 appeared first on Glenn Robison's Rapidly Rotating 78 RPM Records.

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.

Usually, the playlist for the show is based on historical events, or composers or artists birthdays, or some piece of trivia. But this week’s playlist is based entirely upon one recent event. That event is the great Mid-Atlantic blackout of 2003, which took place on August 14, and I hope none of you were adversely impacted by the blackout. Well, we’re going to have our own blackout of sorts on the show as tonight’s records all have to do with black.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Gone Black
Now they may be able to black out the mid-atlantic, but they can’t black out the moon.

They Can’t Black Out the Moon – Carroll Gibbons AHO / Anne Lenner/Eric Whitley
Small Black – Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra
Black Rag – Original Tuxedo Orch

Segment 2: Blackout
Continuing this evening’s “blackout”

Best Black – McKenzie’s Candy Kids
Blackin’ Blues – Jack Gardner’s Orch / Stanton Crocker
Black Eyed Susan Brown – The Four Blackbirds

Segment 3: Black Bottom
This segment of the show has to do with a dance called the Black Bottom. Predominately danced on the “Off Beat”, it was the prototype for modern Tap dance phrasing, it eventually became more refined and entered the ballroom with couples doing the dance.

Black Bottom – Howard Lanin AHO / Frank Harris
Black Bottom Stomp – The Red Heads
Don’t Take That Black Bottom Away – Warner’s Seven Aces

Segment 4: Black

Bandana Babies – Lew Leslie’s Blackbird Orch
Where’s That Rainbow – Frank Black AHO / Unknown, v.
Sing Another Chorus Please – Ted Black AHO, Tom Brown, v.

Segment 5: Blackbirds
For some reason, there seem to be a lot of songs of the 20s and 30s having to do with blackbirds and bluebirds.

Bye Bye Blackbird – George Olsen ah Music
I’m a Broken Hearted Blackbird – Leroy Smith AHO
My Blackbird are Bluebirds Now – The Bostonians
So the Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together – Rhythm Boys
