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.

This evening’s show is all about words. I like words, and recently discovered a website called savethewords.org which devoted to rescuing obscure words – works which are so little used that they no longer appear in the dictionary. So tonight, I’ve picked five words from the site as the inspiration for five segments.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Sparsile
An adjective meaning of a star.

Singing A Song To The Stars – The Clevelanders (Jack Albin) / Irving Kaufman, v.
By All The Stars Above – Stellar Dance Band (Gil Dech Orch)
Just Like A Falling Star – Joseph Robichaux and His New Orleans Rhythm Boys
Dancing Stars – Joe Green (Xylophone)

Segment 2: Nidifice
The word that sparked this segment means a nest.

A Little Dream Nest – Ambrose AHO
Spider’s Nest Blues – Memphis Jug Band
Feather Your Nest – Albert Campbell and Henry Burr
Building A Nest For Mary – Ipana Troubadors (S. C. Lanin, Dir.)

Segment 3: Sarcinarious
The next word on this special save the words edition of the show is sarcinarious, need a clue to work out the meaning? Here’s three:

Carry It On Down – Arcadian Serenaders
Ain’t We Carryin’ On? – B. A. Rolfe and His Palais D’Or Orchestra
Carry Me Back To My Carolina Home – The Caroliners

Segment 4: Quaeritating
The rather obsolete verb quaeritate means to ask or question.

I’ll Never Ask For More – Dorsey Bros and Their Orchestra / Smith Ballew & Chorus
What More Can I Ask? – Harry Roy and His Café Anglais Orchestra / Ivor Moreton, v.
She Wouldn’t Do What I Asked Her To – Arcadia Peacock Orchestra of St. Louis

Segment 5: Vinitorian
An adjective meaning of, or pertaining to vines.

Watermelon Smiling On The Vine – Johnny Marvin
New Vine Street Blues – Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra
Vine Street Drag – The Missourians

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 12 September 2010 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 evening’s show, we’ll play some CAPS records, have a half segment, go whale watching, half fulfill some requests, and celebrate some birthdays.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: CAPS Finds
A couple of weeks ago, I attended the annual California Antique Phonograph Society’s show and sale in Anaheim, California. Last week I played a blue Columbia that I got at the sale, and here are some other records I picked up. I don’t believe I’ve played any of these bands on the show before.

Do Something – Del Delbridge and His Capitol Theater Orchestra / Unidentified v.
She Chills Me – Chic Scoggin and The Pla-Mor Orchestra / Unidentified, v.
If I Can’t Have You – Gerald Marks AHO / Nelson Bitterman, v.

Segment 4: Requests
Joakim in Amsterdam, The Netherlands has been listening to the show for about a year and sent a nice email last week. He requested three specific recordings, and I have all three songs, but not by any of the bands that he requested. But these are some pretty nice versions, which he may not have heard, and which I think he’ll like.

Blue Baby – Kenneth Casey AHO
Take me in your arms – Walter Feldkamp AHO / Elmer Feldkamp, v.
Pretty Cinderella – Fred Rich and his Hotel Astor Orchestra / Unidentified, v.
