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.

On this evening’s show we’ll play some red hot songs, we’ll do some swinging, do some steppin’ out, fulfill a request and celebrate the birthdays of Nacio Herb Brown and William Kernell. We also translate a little Portuguese.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Red Hot
Longtime listeners Tom and Rita in England requested a vocal or instrumental version of “Red Hot Mama”. Well, we aim to please on this show, so in this “red hot” segment, they’re gonna get both, beginning with Ben Selvin’s Dance Orchestra.

Red Hot Mama – Ben Selvin’s Dance Orchestra
I’m Red Hot From Harlem – Adelaide Hall
Red Hot Hottentot – J. C. Johnson and His Five Sparks
Red Hot Mama – Georgia Melodians / Vernon Dalhart, v.

Segment 2: Swingin’ 

Swingin’ ‘Em Down – Freddy Jenkins Harlem Seven
Swingin’ Down The Lane – Isham Jones AHO / Frank Sylvano, v.
Swinging In A Hammock – Jock McDermott and His New Carlton Players / Fred Douglas, v.

Segment 3: Steppin’ Along”

Steppin’ Ol’ Fool – Fowler’s Washboard Wonders
Steppin’ Around – Jan Garber AHO / Jan Garber, v.
Steppin’ In Society – Selvin

Segment 4: Nacio Herb Brown

February 22 marked the birth in 1896 of composer Nacio Herb Brown. He died in San Francisco on September 28, 1964 and was inducted in to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. He wrote some of the greatest standards of his era,including, “Singin’ In The Rain”, “Broadway Melody”, “You Are My Lucky Star”, “You Were Meant For Me” and “The Doll Dance”, as well as these:

Should I – Arden-Ohman Orchestra
Our Big Love Scene – Dick Himber and His Essex House Orchestra / Joey Nash, v.
Broadway Melody – Ben Selvin AHO / Jack Parker, v.

Segment 5: William Kernell

Sally Of My Dreams – Dorsey Brothers Orchestra
Pair Of Blue Eyes – Ed Loyd AHO / Smith Ballew, v.

Segment 6: Bessie Tucker

I received a very nice email written in Portuguese from new listener Caio in Brazil. I don’t know a word of Portuguese, but fortunately there’s Google translate, so I was able to find out that Caio is a fan of Bessie Tucker. Bessie Tucker was from East Texas, and as a blues singer and writer of songs about prison and railroads, I wouldn’t say that she swings, but here for listener Caio is one of the 24 recordings, including alternate takes, that she made in two sessions for Victor the first in Memphis, Tennessee in 1928 and the second in Dallas, Texas in 1929.

Better Boot That Thing – Bessie Tucker

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 rapidly rotating records about eskimos, elevators, pheasants, weddings, honeymoons and even even-toed ungulates, eh…camels…yes, camels. We’ll also celebrate some birthdays and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Weddings

I’m very proud and happy that today is my 35th wedding anniversary. Now there aren’t a lot of vintage songs about anniversaries, but there are plenty about weddings and marriage, so for my lovely wife Rita, for putting up with me for better than a third of a century, is a set of rapidly rotating records about weddings, beginning with the Rhythmic Eight.

What A Wonderful Wedding That Will Be – Rhythmic Eight / Maurice Elwin, v.
Wedding of the Birds – Paul’s Novelty Orchestra / Frank Luther, v.
I’ll Dance At Your Wedding – Fats Waller and His Rhythm / Fats Waller, v.

Honeymoon Hotel – Leo Reisman AHO / Frank Luther, v.
Honeymoon Home – Art Hickman’s Orchestra
Shanghai Moneymoon – Wisconsin Roof Orch. / Henry “Bubbles” Reber, v

Segment 4: Elevators and Pheasants

Elevators and Pheasants?! Well, sometimes I’ll have what sounds like an interesting topic, and just not be able to find enough records to make a whole segment out of it. That happened a couple of times this week, so for this segment, I’ve combined two topics.

Strange Interlude – Harold White AHO / Will Osborne

Segment 4: Ducks

You were promised the meaning of ‘grinnel’ (the context will make sense in a moment). In the Missouri Arkansas boot-heel area a “trash fish” is called grinnel, also known as bowfin, mudfish or dogfish. In the spring, the locals would catch grinnel in backwater ponds by spearing them with a three-pronged fork, a practice known as gigging. Band members of a certain band, most of whom were cotton farmers and fishermen, actually had done gigging.

The Duck’s Quack (A Barnyard Jazzboree) / Gilbert Girard, Animal Imitations – Kaplan’s Melodists
Huckleberry Duck – Raymond Scott and His New Orchestra

Segment 5: Arthur Johnston

Last week, January 10 marked the birth in 1898 in New York City of composer Arthur Johnston. He began his career as a movie theater pianist and later as a pianist and musical director for Irving Berlin’s stage productions. He moved to Hollywood in 1929 and wrote the scores for films such as College Humor, Too Much Harmony, Hello Everybody, Murder At The Vanities, Thanks A Million, Pennies From Heaven and Double Or Nothing. His most notable collaborators were Sam Coslow, Gus Kahn and Johnny Burke. Arthur Johnston died in Corona del Mar, California on May 1, 1954.
