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’ve got four sets of rapidly rotating records based on some of what we played last week and we’ll listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Shores

Swanee Shore – Ben Bernie
On the Shores of Avalon – Sam Lanin AHO
I Left Her on the Shores of Minnetonka – Wigwam Dance Orch.

Segment 2: Syncopated
Last week’s show featured songs by Dana Suesse, and I mentioned her 1928 composition “Syncopated Love Song”, which, with lyrics by Leo Robin, became the hit “Have You Forgotten”. Well, here’s a set of syncopated songs

It’s All Forgotten Now – Ray Noble AHO / Al Bowlly, v.
hat Never-To-Be-Forgotten Night – Fats Waller and His Rhythm / Fats Waller, v.

Last week I played “Oh, Gee! Say, Gee! You Ought To See My Gee Gee From The Fiji Isle” by Billy Murray, and I thought “Gee. I wonder what other songs there are that have “gee” in the title. Well, there are at least four, and here they are.

Oh, Gee, Oh Joy – Johnny Johnson and His Statler Pennsylvanians
Gee, But I’d Like To Make You Happy – Lloyd Huntley and his Isle o’ Blues Orch / Unidentified, v.

On this evening’s show we’ll fulfill some requests, almost fill some other requests, listen to this past week in recording history and play some records for no particular reason.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Holidays
I love getting requests, and most of the time, I’ll have the song requested, although sometimes not by the artist requested. Well, such was the case this week. I got a request for “Every Day’s A Holiday”, and I have several versions of it, but not by the artist the listener requested.

Holiday in Venice – Ted Weems AHO / Elmo Tanner & Orch., v.
A Jazz Holiday – Bennie Goodman’s Boys w/Jim and Glenn

Segment 2: Merry-Go-Round
Another request this week was for “Love Is A Merry-Go-Round”, but again, I had the song, but not the version that was requested – however, it will spawn this set of merry-go-round songs:

When We Ride On The Merry-Go-Round – Chick Bullock
Love Is A Merry-Go-Round – Bunny Berigan AHO / Sue Mitchell, v.
Merry-Go-Round Broke Down – Russ Morgan AHO / Jimmie Lewis, v.

Maybe It’s Love – Kate Smith
I’ll Never Ask For More – Geo Olsen / Bob Borger, v.

Segment 4: No Particular Reason
We don’t always have a theme, sometimes it’s just a bunch of songs we like.

How Could Red Riding Hood – Charleston Serenaders / Al Lentz, v.
Those Wanna Go Back Again Blues – Dave Caplan’s Toronto Band

Segment 5: This Week in Recording History
