May 30, marked the birth in 1908 of Mel Blanc. He co-starred with his wife in a weekly program in Portland, Oregon entitled “Cobwebs and Nuts.” The show was largely ad-libbed, but didn’t have a large budget, so Blanc provided most of the character voices himself, honing the skill that would earn him the title “The Man of a Thousand Voices.” Amoungst others he created the voice of Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, the laugh for Woody Woodpecker, Barney Rubble and Cosmo Spacely. Normally, we try to stick with music of the 20s and 30s, but to commemorate Mel Blanc’s birthday, here are some rapidly rotating records from a little later.

Ten Little Bottles in the Sink
Big Bear Lake
Who the Hell is Mel Blanc

Now to commemorate Fred Allen’s birthday, we’ve got some songs about alleys.

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 13 May 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’ve got some “royal” songs, and we’re going to celebrate a couple of birthdays.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Glory
The American novelist Betty Smith wrote, “Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.” And another American novelist, Eugene F. Ware, said, “All glory comes from daring to begin.” And so I’m going to dare to begin this glory filled edition of the show.

I’m Riding to Glory – Harry Reser (Cliquot Club Eskimos?)
When the Morning Glories Wake Up in the Morning – Wisconsin Roof Orchestra / Henry “Bubbles” Reeber, v.
Page Miss Glory- Rudy Vallee
Ain’t That A Grand and Glorious Feeling – Harry Richman

Segment 2: Royalty
April 30 in 1945, Jack Bailey first opened his Mutual radio network program by delivering the line, “How would YOU like to be Queen for a Day!” So, in commemoration here are some songs having to do with royalty in some form or another.

Prince of Wails – Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra
Hallucinations – Louisiana Rhythm Kings
Christopher Robin at Buckingham Palace – New Mayfair Ork
Coronation Waltz – Charlie Kunz

Segment 3: Bing Crosby
May 3 marked the birth in Tacoma, Washington in 1903 of Harry Lillis Crosby, better known as “Bing”, a nickname he got at age 6 as the result of his enthusiasm for “The Bingville Bugle”, a parody of a hillbilly newsletter written by Newton Newkirk, and run as a full-page feature in Spokane’s newspaper, the Spokesman-Review.

Boo Boo Boo – Bing Crosby, Arthur Johnson, Sam Coslow
If I Had You – Sam Lanin’s Famous Players and Singers
I’m in Love Again – Paul Whiteman AHO / Bing Crosby, v.
I’m Playing with Fire – Bing Crosby

Segment 4: Baby
The day before Bing Crosby was born, pediatrician, psychiatrist, author and activist Benjamin Spock was born in New Haven, CT. So here to commemorate Dr. Spock, not to be confused with Mr. Spock, are some “baby” songs.

Bashful Baby – Ben Pollack and his Park Central Orchestra
Baby – Paul Small
Oh Look at that Baby – Johnny Hamp’s Kentucky Serenaders
You’ll Recognize My Baby – George Belshaw’s KFAB Orch / Frank Sylvano, v.

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 06 May 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’re going to do something about the weather, and we’re going to celebrate the birthdays of three very divergent people, Shirley Temple, William Shakespeare, and Marconi, without whose invention you wouldn’t be able to receive this broadcast.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Hillbilly
To get us started, we’re going to look back at this past week in history when on April 23 in 1900, the word hillbilly was first used in print in an article in the “New York Journal”.

There’ll Be Some Changes Made – W. Lee O’Daniels and His Hillbilly Boys

Segment 2: Shakespeare
From Texas in 1938, we’re going to England in 1564 where on April 23, playwright and poet William Shakespeare was born. So here are some songs in honor of Williams Shakespeare.
Ragamuffin Romeo – Joe Turner and His Memphis Men
If My Baby Cooks as Good As She Looks – Roving Romeos

Segment 3: Shirley Temple
April 23 marked the birth in 1928 in Santa Monica California of Shirley Temple. Here are four from Shirley Temple, from the soundtracks of four different films.

On the Good Ship Lollipop – Bright Eyes – Shirley Temple
You’ve Got to SMILE – Stowaway – Shirley Temple
Laugh, You Son of a Gun – Little Miss Marker – Shirley Temple
You’ve Got to Eat Your Spinach – Poor Little Rich Girl – Shirley Temple

Segment 4: Radio
April 25 marked the birth in 1874 in Bologna, Italy of physicist and inventor Guglielmo Marconi. He developed short-wave radio equipment, and established a worldwide radio telegraph network for the British government. You can thank Marconi for being able to listen to the show. So here’s a set of songs in honor of Marconi

Little Girl – Fred Rich Radio Orch
Blue Again – Ben Russ Radio Orch
Under the Moon – Radio Imps
I’m Walking Around in Circles – The Radiolites

Segment 5: Weathering
April 26 in 1921, weather broadcasts were heard for the first time on radio when WEW in St. Louis, MO aired the weather news. Well, as they say, everyone talks about the weather, but no one does any thing about it, so we’re going to do something about it. We’re going to play some songs about it.

March Winds and April Showers – Wingy Manone and His Harlem Hot Shots / Wingy Manone, Nappy Lamare, v.
Today’s a Sunny Day for Me – Lloyd Shakespeare Band
Speaking of the Weather – Dick Powell
Fair and Warmer – Harry Reser
