Now, the really hard core gardeners among you out there probably know that last week, on 8/18 in 1931 US Patent Office awarded its first plant patent to Henry F. Bosenberg of New Brunswick, New Jersey, for inventing a climbing rose that blooms successively throughout the year. So here, in honor of Henry Bosenberg, is a trio of of “rose” songs.

Segment 5: AKA Hubert Vallee
Rudy Vallee was born Hubert Prior Vallee on July 28, 1901 in Island Point, Vermont. Rudy Vallee himself didn’t change his name from Hubert to Rudy. In the fall of 1921, he entered the Univ. of Maine and joined the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, where fellow fraternity members, knowing of his great love of Rudy Wiedoeft’s playing, nick-named him ‘Rudy’ Vallee.

You’re Driving Me Crazy – Rudy Vallee

Segment 5: To The Peaks
Now we’re going to back up to the peaks

Mountain Greenery – Pauline Alpert

Segment 5: Mega Vallee
It was while playing with the Yale Collegians, that Rudy Vallee took to using a megaphone to enhance his slight voice. The megaphone became one of his trademarks, and was copied by other vocalists of the day inasmuch as microphones and amplifier systems were not yet well developed.

You Ought to Be in Pictures – Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees.

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 30 July 2000 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’re taking a look at this past week in history, we’ve got some songs about money, gardens, shoes, the stock market and more. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. I’ll wind up the gramophone for you.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Gardens
Last Monday, July 3 in 1922 readers found a new magazine at their local newstand. So here to commemorate Better Homes and Gardens’ 78th birthday is a quartet of songs about…..gardens.

Royal Garden Blues – Ted Lewis AHO
Fairies at the bottom of our garden – Beatrice Lilly
In a Bamboo Garden – Roger Wolfe Kahn and his Orchestra with Frank Munn
Gardening – What to do with your aspidistra – Oliver Wakefield

Segment 2: Stocks and Bonds
Another publication made its first appearance on July 3, but a little earlier in 1884. That’s when journalists Charles Dow and Edward Jones published the first average of US stocks. So here to commemorate the Dow-Jones industrial average, are a couple of definitely blue chip records.

I’ll Take an Option on You – Ted Fiorito AHO
I’m in the Market for You – George Olsen and His Music

Segment 3: Banking
Speaking of stocks and options and money, on July 3 in 1819, the first bank in the US opened in New York City. There was a total of $2,807 deposited that first day in the Bank for Savings.

Beau-Koo-Jack – the Omer Simeon Trio / Earl Hines on piano
Five Pennies – Red Nichols and the Charleston Chaser

Segment 4: Soles
I mentioned that I was going to play some “sole” music. Not sole music as in Motown, but sole music as in Florsheim. Because this past week, July 6 in 1858, a patent was issued to Lyman Blake of Abington, Massachussetts for a shoe-manufacturing machine.

One Two Button Your Shoe – Georgie Stoll and his Orchestra / Bing Crosby
Put on a New Pair of Shoes – Jack Hylton AHO
A Shine on Your Shoes – Leo Reisman
Stringin’ along on a shoestring – Henry James Allen Jr., with the Coleman Hawkins Orchestra

Segment 5: Sunday
Today is Sunday. And yesterday was Sunday Day. That’s because on July 8 in 1881, druggist Edward Berner of Two Rivers, Wisconsin invented the ice cream sundae. Here’s a pair of songs about Sunday. No, not Sunday….Sunday!

Sunday – Jean Goldkette and His Orchestra / The Keller Sisters, Al Lynch, v.
What Do You Do Sunday Mary – McNalpak’s Dance Orchestra

Segment 5: Doughnuts
On this very day July 9 in 1872, a patent was issued to John F. Blondel of Thomaston Maine for…the doughtnut cutter. We’re going to celebrate with a record that was recorded this very day, July 9, 1926.

When You Dunk a Doughnut, Don’t it make it nice – Harry Reser’s Six Jumping Jacks

Segment 5: Happy Birthday Love
We’re going to wind up this edition of Rapidly Rotating Records with another song which recently had a birthday. The song was to eventually become the theme song of Jack Benny, but it was recorded last Wednesday, July 5 in 1934

Love in Bloom – Irving Aaronson’s Orchestra / Bing Crosby, v.
