  • Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 13 April 2003

    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.

    On this evening’s show, tiptoe through the tulips, have a vocabulary lesson, bemoan April 15, and maybe….just maybe, we’ll fulfill a request.

    Enjoy the show!

    Here’s the complete playlist:

    Segment 1: Maybe
    I received a very nice e-mail from listener Ken, requesting “Maybe, Who Knows” by Ted Lewis. Well, here’s a set of “maybe” songs, and maybe that Ted Lewis record will be part of it.

    Maybe It’s Love – Sam Lanin’s Dance Orch./Paul Small
    Maybe, Who Knows – Ted Lewis AHO / Ted Lewis, v.
    Maybe I’m Wrong Again – Bing Crosby

    Segment 2: Quartets
    April 11 in 1938, the SPEBSQSA –that is, the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America– was founded by Tulsa tax attorney O. C. Cash and fellow Tulsan Rupert Hall. So to commemorate the SPEBSQSA, we have some rapidly rotating records by some quartets.

    Ukulele Lady – Paul Whiteman AHO / Southern Fall Colored Quartet
    Ain’t We Got Fun – The Harmonizers Quartet
    Shine On Harvest Moon – Art Gillham and The Rondoliers Quartet

    Segment 3: Poor
    As a public service, I’d like to remind you that the day after tomorrow is the deadline for filing your income tax return. For all those people who will be a little poorer after having to come up with money for the IRS, here are some songs about some other poor people.

    Poor Li’l Me – Luis Russell AHO
    The Poor Man’s Blues – Harlem Trio
    Poor Papa – The Red Heads / Arthur Fields

    Segment 4: Vespertine
    It’s time now for today’s vocabulary lesson. The word for today is vespertine, an adjective meaning of, relating to, or occurring in the evening. So here’s a set of vespertine songs.

    Blue Evening Blues – Romance of Harmony Orch
    I Love to See the Evening Sun Go Down – Singin’ Sam
    Waitin’ for the Evening Mail – Al Jolson

    Segment 5: Tulips
    April 12 marked the birth in 1932 in New York of Herbert Khaury. You may know him better as Tiny Tim, who became nationally famous in 1968 when he appeared on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, singing his signature song “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”. So here to commemorate Tiny Tim are some songs about tulips.

    Starlight and Tulips – Thelma Terry and Her Playboys
    Two Lips – Al Friedman AHO
    Tiptoe Through the Tulips – Nick Lucas

Just two years later, the song became identified as a Southern tune, to the dismay of the composer, who was not a Southern sympathizer. In any case, to commemorate Daniel Emmett’s song, here are some rapidly rotating records about Dixie.
