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’re gonna do some strolling, fulfill a request, hear from some Rose Maries, walk down the sunset trail, and be ashamed.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 2: Rose Marie

Segment 3: Ashamed
Unashamedly the inspiration for this set came when looking through lists of song titles, I happened across “Ain’t You Ashamed”…

Ain’t You Ashamed – Arcadia Peacock Orchestra of St. Louis
You Ought to Be Ashamed – Bessie Smith
I’m So Ashamed – Russo and FioRito’s Oriole Orchestra / Mark Fisher, v.

Segment 4: Bernie Cummins & Henry Busse

Segment 5: Sunset
At last week’s Monday night Salon, listener Will and I were talking about the playlist for last week’s show, when the subject of film “The Sunset Trail”, which had versions in 1917 and 1924 came up. Will also mentioned a song titled “Down On The Sunset Trail”. Unfortunately, if it was even recorded, I don’t have that record. But, for Will and the rest of the Cactus County Cowboys, who have no doubt spent considerable time out on the sunset trail, are some other rapidly rotating records about the sunset trail, beginning with Billy Cotton and His Band

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’re going to celebrate the birthday of the good ol’ US of A. The 4th of July is a time for parades, fireworks and American Tunes, and here are all three.

Yankee Doodle is a song familiar to most people, and while there are lots of conflicting stories as to the origin of the tune, the first English lyrics are attributed to British military surgeon Dr. Richard Schackburg in 1755. The origin of the term “Yankee”, which by the 1770s referred to English colonists in America, is also obscure. The word “Doodle” first appeared in the early 17th century and means a foolor a simpleton. The song was well known in the colonies and was supposedly sung by colonial troops at the battles of Lexington and Concord, and by British troops to mock the colonials. There are lots of take-offs of “Yankee Doodle”, and here are some.

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 5 July 2009 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’re gonna hear from some novelty orchestras, celebrate summer, take a trip, do some dancing, and put our mind at ease.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Novelty Songs
Last week I was listening to some vintage novelty solo piano recordings and thought, “How about a segment of novelty songs by novelty orchestras?” Well, here it is.

Cigarette – The Argentinians (Antonio Lopez Orchestra)
Down In Argentine – Dixie Daisies (Bob Haring) / Unidentified v.

Segment 3: Argentina
We just went musically to Argentina, where the national dance is the tango. Again, I don’t know why I would have thought of this, but as the saying goes, it takes two to tango, so for no particular reason, here’s a set of tangos.

Tango Americano – Paul Whiteman AHO
Julian Argentine Tango – Denza Dance Orchestra
Havana – Tango – Leo Reisman AHO

Segment 4: Summer

Too Many Kisses In The Summer – California Ramblers / Frank Harris, v.
