The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 7 October 2001 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.

On this evening’s show we have three birthdays to celebrate, all of which were on the same day of the year, September 26. And in answer to a request, the final segment of the show will be devoted to Gene Kardos.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Apples
We might as well do our birthday tributes in chronological order, where on September 26 all the way back in 1774, John Chapman was born in Massachusetts. You’ve probably heard of him by his nickname of “Johnny Appleseed”. So here to commemorate Johnny Appleseed are some songs about…apples.

Adam’s Apple – Jimmie Blythe and his Ragamuffins
The Big Apple – Hod Williams
Ida! Sweet as Apple Cider – Parker & Donaldson

Segment 2: Ted Weems
September 26 marked the birth in 1901 of Wilfred Theodore Weymes, better known as “Ted”.

Miss Annabelle Lee – Ted Weems AHO / Dusty Rhodes, Parker Gibbs, v.
Who Wouldn’t be Blue – Ted Weems and His Orchestra / Parker Gibbs, Art Jarrett, Sam Oliver, v.
My Cutie’s Due at two to two today – Ted Weems and His Orchestra
The One Man Band – Ted Weems and His Orchestra

Segment 3: Fitness
September 26 marked the birth in San Francisco in 1914 of Francois Henri La Lanne. You know him better as TV fitness guru Jack La Lanne. So here in commemoration are some songs about fitness.

Bend Down Sister – Jimmie Grier AHO
Fit as a Fiddle – Annette Hanshaw
Jog Along – Harry Leader / Sam Browne, v.
Dumbell – Zez Confrey AHO

Segment 4: Gene Kardos
I received an e-mail last week from listener Bill in Madison, Wisconsin, asking for some of Gene Kardos’ early recordings. Bill requested some early Gene Kardos recordings, so here are two from the band’s first session and one from the second.

Jig Time – Gene Kardos and His Orchestra
Left My Gal in the Mountains – Gene Kardos and His Orchestra
China Boy – Gene Kardos and His Orchestra

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 30 September 2001 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.

On this evenings show we will celebrate the strength of Americans, hear about some Bills, trip to New York, and treasure our time together.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: People
Celebrating “the people” and asserts that America’s greatness lies in its ordinary citizens.

Ballad for Americans – Paul Robeson

Segment 2: Bills
September 19 in 1935, the serial drama “Just Plain Bill” was first heard on CBS radio. It was “The real life story of people just like people we all know.” So here to commemorate “Just Plain Bill” are some songs about some other bills.

Brother Bill – Brian Lawrance
Bill – Victor Baravali
Won’t You Come Home Bill Bailey – Arthur Collins /acc. Fred Hage

Segment 3: Precious Time
September 21 marked the birth in 1866 in England of H. G. Wells. His first novel was “The Time Machine”. Unfortunately, we don’t have a time machine to be able to go back and change the events of September 11. I do have some songs here about time, and I guess the point of this segment would be that each of us has just a short time here on this earth, so make the most of every little moment you have.

Every Little Moment – Dorsey Brothers Orchestra / Kay Weber, v.
My Time is Your Time – Rudy Vallee
Time on My Hands – Percival Mackey / Queenie Leonard
You’re My Past, Present and Future – Abe Lyman / Frank Sylvano

Segment 4: New York
If you’ve been watching the news since September 11, you’ve heard New York Mayor Giuliani talking about the resolve of the people of New York and how the city will rebuild and come back from this tragedy greater than ever. Here are some songs in tribute to New York.

Manhattan – Calif. Ramblers
Manhattan Rag – Irving Mills and His Hotsy Totsy Gang /Hoagy
My New York – Mal Hallet / Frank Marvin
The New Yorker – Red Nichols / Red McKenzie
Good Old NY – Jelly Roll Morton’s Hot Seven

Segment 5: America

God Bless America – Kate Smith
