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.

You may have noticed that I sometimes start the intro to the show a little bit earlier into the opening theme song. I do this to keep from having to cut a record from the playlist. Well this week, playing all four records I had lined up for Al Goering’s birthday tribute precluded my playing the opening theme song at all! It’s not like you haven’t heard it, but I hope the opening wasn’t too jarring. Next week I expect you’ll hear the regular intro and theme song. Besides Al Goering’s birthday, we’ll also celebrate Abe Olman’s natal anniversary. In other segments, we’re going to do some crawling, spend some time on the delta and take a musical trip to Savannah. Although I’m not doing a Christmas show this year, I do want to wish those who celebrate a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah. I hope at this time of the year, everyone is able to enjoy delicious food, fine drink and quality time spent with family and friends.

Enjoy the show!

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 15 December 2019 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.

This week is a four-segment, all-birthday edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. We’ll be celebrating the birthdays of Gladys DuBois, Bob Effros, Charles L. Johnson and Lew Reynolds. I realized after finishing the show, that I did not back announce one of the records in the Bob Effros segment, “Waiting For The Moon.” It was performed by Ben Selvin and His Orchestra credited as Lloyd Keating and His Music with the vocal by Jack Miller, credited as Robert Wood. At least Johnson and Shirley say it’s Jack Miller. The ARSC Journal says it’s not Jack Miller, but doesn’t offer an identity and at least one other source credits Scrappy Lambert. And apparently it’s not Bob Effros on trumpet on that recording but Manny Klein. I’m not sure where I got that it was Grandpa Bob, but that gives you an idea of the degree of incorrect information out there. I do my best to make sure that everything I say on the show is accurate, but sometimes, it’s not, and when I find out, I try to make correction. Nonetheless, “Waiting For The Moon” is a nice record.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Gladys DuBois
