Rapidly Rotating 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.

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
