I hope all of our listeners here in the US had a safe and sane 4th of July holiday. The 4th of July might be past, but patriotism shouldn't be confined to a few specific days a year, so this week it's a special Independence Day edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. The 4th of July is a time for parades, fireworks and American tunes, and this show has all three, plus songs about liberty and Yankee Doodle.

This week it's a shiny, brand-spankin' new edition of the show! We're going to celebrate the birthdays of Gene Austin, Clyde Doerr and Maceo Pinkard, but the first segment kicks off the show with some "kick" songs. Why? Well, to bring your attention to the "Treasures of Tin Pan Alley" campaign on kickstarter.com. "Treasures of Tin Pan Alley" is a 2 CD set of vocal recordings by Ian Whitcomb, and features over 50 songs from the 1910s, 20s and 30s, personally selected by Ian from long out of print LPs and CDs. All of the recordings are being remastered by Bryan Wright of Rivermont Records. I am proud to have been asked by Ian to write the liner notes for the set. But in order to make the project a reality, the kickstarter campaign must meet its goal. We have had a phenomenal start, but there's a bit of a way to go. This is a limited edition set and is not guaranteed to be available to the public beyond this offer. You can read all of the details by clicking on the link below:

Please check it out and to those of you who have already generously supported the project, THANK YOU!!

Last week's show featured a topic on the word "synecdoche." As I suspect for many people, it was a new word to my friend Bryan Wright, who runs Rivermont Records (www.RivermontRecords.com). In a conversation about the show, he remarked that about 10 years ago when he first started listening to RRR, I created an entire show around the word "pauciloquent," and that he uses that word to this day. So, I decided to play that show again. A few of you, like Bryan, may have heard the original show, but for many of you it will be brand new.
