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’ show we’ve got some dreamy songs, some hello and good-bye songs, and we’ll celebrate a couple of birthdays.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Oneiric
We’re going to start off with a vocabulary lesson. The word for this week is oneiric, an adjective meaning of or relating to dreams or “dreamy” as in The misty garden setting and odd dialogue gave the film an oneiric quality.” So here to begin the program are some oneiric songs.

Alexander Graham Bell, of the telephone invention, suggested using the greeting of “Ahoy” when answering the telephone. Obviously, that didn’t take.

Hello, Bluebird – Jay C. Flippen and His Gang
Won’t You Come Over and Say “Hello” – Clarence Williams / Chick Bullock

Earlier in the show we had a set of “hello” songs. So it only makes sense that we should have a set of “goodbye” songs.
