Rapidly Rotating 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.

Like last week, there are not one, not two, but three first time birthday segments on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. You’ll hear all about Gus Edwards (pictured above), Bob Haring and Ben Russell. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because we spotlighted Benee Russell last week. Ben Russell and Benee Russell are the same person, and produced such a large number of compositions, that he’s getting another segment this week! It’s not his birthday, but Bernardo De Pace is getting his own segment as well. And in the final segment we’ll hear about some girlie girls.

ENJOY THE SHOW!

I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes!

The post Rapidly Rotating Records Twentieth Anniversary Show! 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’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records starts off with a birthday salute to composer Bert Van Cleve. The rest of the show will be an episode of “One Thing in Common.” That’s where we play records which seemingly have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, but in fact, have “one thing in common.” An example would be a set of songs from the same Broadway show or Hollywood movie. But tonight’s “One Thing in Common” won’t be nearly that easy. In fact, don’t even try to guess, since there are only a few people in Cincinatti and a couple in Pittsburgh who will get this right away. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you the common thread at the end of the show. I especially enjoy playing records being heard on the show for the first time, and that’s the case with several. So get yourself an adult beverage, sit back, relax and ENJOY THE SHOW!

I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes!

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.

One of the reasons I do this show is that every single week I learn something new and interesting. In doing research for the show, I often get sidetracked or go off on tangents and find out something I wasn’t expecting. That happened a lot more than usual on this particular show, so there’s a lot of commentary, and I hope you find the information as fun and interesting as I do. For example, in the second segment of this week’s show you’ll find out what the raised rim of a table on a boat or ship is called! But there’s still plenty of great music. This week’s show starts off with a birthday salute to composer Henry R. Cohen, and in other segments, we’ll have a vocabulary lesson, play possum and go down to the boardwalk. ENJOY THE SHOW!

I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes!

Thank you for your very kind attention!

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.

I hope you had a safe and sane Fourth of July holiday and week-end. Yesterday may have been the Fourth of July, but this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records is a special Independence Day show. You’ll know it’s special right from the get go because we’ve replaced our usual theme song of “Avalon” with John Philip Sousa’s “Federal March” played by Sousa’s Band. We start off with a bit of history about the Fourth of July and that’s followed by 13 records, one about each of the original 13 American colonies, with a bit of history about each of them. And they’re highlighted in the order in which they ratified the U. S. Constitution. Even if you’re an American history buff, you may learn something about the colonies, states and the Constitution. I know I did in researching this show. It’s also special because it’s a but longer than our usual one hour show, clocking in at an hour and 13 minutes. So grab your favorite beverage, sit back, relax and ENJOY THE SHOW!

I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes!

Thank you for your very kind attention!

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.

No birthday celebrations on this show and some odd segment topics, but some great music and *lots* of information which I hope you will find as interesting as we do. We start off with one my favorite records of all time in a “sing song” set. In the second segment we’ll have a brain storm. Since we’re in the Pacific time zone and on the Pacific coast, for the third segment, we’ve got a set of “Pacific” songs. And if you’re a fan of classic television game shows, I have a surprise in store for you in that set! I had a couple of records last week that I ran out of time to play, so you’ll hear them this week in a “traveling” set. And the final segment of the show is all about shawls. (I told you there were some odd topics!) 

I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes!
