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 have breakfast, strike it rich, listen to this past week in recording history, and have some songs for the upcoming holiday.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Breakfast
We’re commemorating the radio show “The Breakfast Club” today with some rapidly rotating records about breakfast.
On June 23 in 1933, Don McNeill took over a morning radio program called “The Pepper Pot” and renamed it “The Breakfast Club”. When he started, he was earning $50 a week, but by 1950, the show was so popular, his contract was for $100,000 a year. “The Breakfast Club” was broadcast live from WLS and the Blue Network for 15 years and for its last 20 years from various Chicago hotels over the ABC network. The Breakfast Club’s last show was December 27, 1968 and Don McNeill died on May 7, 1996.

Across The Breakfast Table Looking at you – Roof garden Orch (Fred Rich)
What Would’ja Like For Breakfast? – Nat Star Band (as Bernie Blake)
Breakfast In Harlem – Buck & Bubbles
Cooking Breakfast For The One I Love – Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Orchestra (Instrumental Issue Brazil)

Segment 2: Rich People
June 29, 1947, the game show “Strike It Rich” debuted on CBS radio. Contestants in need of money for medical treatments or other hardships would come on the show and tell their story. If they could answer some relatively easy questions, they could win money, but if they didn’t win, they could turn to “the Heartline” a large red heart set up on the stage. It would light up if a home viewer or sponsor called in to offer gifts or money to the contestant.

Serenade For A Wealthy Widow – Fats Waller

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 8 June 2008 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.

I often ask for suggestions for segment topics for the show, but for this evening, listener Dan’s recent suggestion has been applied to the entire show. Tonight, it’s all “hotel orchestras” all the time. In the 20s virtually all large, luxury hotels had resident orchestras, many of which had engagements lasting just a few days or weeks, and some which lasted for years or even decades. We’re going to hear a bunch of them, from San Francisco to Texas to New York and even to Canada.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Hotel Astor
Ok, so not all the bands are from the Hotel Astor, but I’m choosing the pick a hotel to head up each segment.
The 500 room Hotel Astor was designed by the architectural firm of Clinton and Russell and was built in 1904 by William Walforf Astor at a cost of $7,000,000. In 1939 you could get a room for $7 a night. The Astor was torn down in 1966.

Baltimore – Fred Rich and His Hotel Astor Orchestra / Arthur Humby, v.
Pretty Little Thing – Herman Kenin’s Hotel Multnomah Orch. / Van Fleming, v.
Give Your Baby Lots Of Lovin’ – Anson Weeks and His Hotel Mark Hopkins Orchestra / Warren Luce, v.
Hop Skip – Frank Ellis ah Hotel St. Francis Orch.

Segment 2: Park Central Hotel
Ben Pollack is most closely identified with the Park Central Hotel, but other bands played the Park Central, including Cass Hagan, who was there for its opening, The 31 story Park Central Hotel had its grand opening on June 12, 1927.

Variety Stomp – Cass Hagan and His Park Central Hotel Orch
Don’t Be Like That – Alvin Roehr’s Hotel Alma Orch / Tony Salamac, v.
Me Too – Ernie Golden and His Hotel McAlpin Orch / Billy Jones, v.

Segment 3: The Baker Hotel
The Baker Hotel opened on November 9, 1929 although the official grand opening celebration gala was on November 22. Incredibly advanced for the time it had an advanced hydraulic system that circulated ice water to all 450 guest rooms, lighting and fans controlled by the door locks that shut off and on automatically when the guest left or arrived in their rooms, and a valet compartment where guests could deposit soiled laundry that was accessible by hotel staff without them ever even having to enter the guest’s room. Henry Lange was appointed as the music director of Baker Hotel in 1925.

Somebody Loves Me – Henry Lange and His Baker Hotel Orch
Button Up Your Overcoat – Ben Bernie and His Roosevelt Hotel Orchestra / Dick Robertson
Louisiana – Van and His Hotel Half Moon Orch (Peter Van Steeden)

Segment 4: Inns
We’re going to expand our definition of “hotel” orchestra, to include Inn, which, in addition to providing lodging, usually provides food and drink for travelers, and is usually located in the country or along a highway.

I Love My Baby (My Baby Loves Me) – Jack Glassner and His Colonial Inn Orch
Jericho – Herb Gordon and His Hotel Ten Eyck Whispering Orch
Rosie (Make It Rosey For Me) – Vanderbilt Hotel Orch (Directed M. Falls)
If I Had A Lover – Frank Farrell and His Greenwich Village Inn Orch / Leo McConville, v.

Segment 5: The Royal York Hotel
Opened on June 11, 1929 the 407 ft tall Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada was the tallest building in not only Canada, but the entire British Empire.
 
Telling It To The Daisies – Fred Culley and His Royal York Hotel Orchestra / Paul Hagan, v.
Everything Happens for the Best – Harold Leonard and His Windsor Hotel Orch / Bill Moodie, v.
Salt Your Sugar – Pete Bontsema and His Hotel Tuller Orch.

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 18 May 2008 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.

This being Mother’s Day, this evening’s show is all about mothers, mamas, grandmas, mammys, and maybe even a mother-in-law or two.
Anna Jarvis is credited with bringing about the official observance of Mother’s Day. Her own mother had tried to establish A Mother’s Friendship Days as a way to heal the scars of the Civil War. Two years after her mother died, Jarvis held a ceremony in Grafton, West Virginia, to honor her. She was so moved by the proceedings that she began a massive campaign to adopt a formal holiday honoring mothers. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed Mother’s Day as a national holiday to be held on the second Sunday of May.

Enjoy the show!

The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 11 May 2008 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 roll ‘em, celebrate the birthday of Bing, introduce a new segment to the show, and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Polly
Last week I had the great pleasure of attending the theater organ concert at The Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar. The artist was Martin Ellis, and one of the songs he played at the concert at San Sylmar was his own arrangement for theater organ of a “finger buster” titled “Polly”. Given the parameters of the show, I can’t play Martin’s recording of “Polly”, but I do have a few other Polly’s to play.

Polly – Percival Mackey
When Polly Walks Through The Hollyhocks – Ben Bernie and His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra / Scrappy Lambert & Billy Hillpot, v.
Polly-Olly-O – Green Brothers Novelty Band

Segment 2: Bing Crosby
May 3 marked the birth in Tacoma, Washington in 1903 of Harry Lillis Crosby, better known as “Bing”,

Ho-Hum – Gus Arnheim AHO / Bing Crosby & Loyce Whiteman, v.
Love In Bloom – Irving Aarson ah Commanders
Livin’ In The Sunlight, Lovin’ In The Moonlight – Paul Whiteman AHO / Bing Crosby

Segment 3: Rolling
At Ian Whitcomb’s Monday evening salon one of the group brought a number of pieces of vintage sheet music to show, one of which was a song called “Roll ‘em, Girls”. Those unfamiliar with the song, guessed that it had to do with rolling cigarettes, until they read the lyrics – and now you get to find out what it’s about (and a few other Rolling songs)

Roll ‘em Girls – Billy Murray / Jack Shilkret AHO
Roll Out Of Bed With A Smile – Eddie Stone, v.
Roll Down The Line – Allen Brothers
I Just Roll Along – Ben Bernie

Segment 4: For No Particular Reason
This evening, for no particular reason, is a set of rapidly rotating records about stairs.

Climbing The Stairs – Jack Denny Orch / Scrappy Lambert, v.
Sitting On The Stairs (Counting The Stars) – Charles W. Hamp
Upstairs – Stuff Smith and His Onyx Club Boys

Segment 5: This Week in Recording History
It’s here where we play rapidly rotating records celebrating birthdays, having been recorded this past week in years past.

Dustin’ The Donkey – The Golden Gate Orchestra (May 4, 1925)
Get Out And Get Under The Moon – Billy Hays AHO (Sam Lanin) (May 4, 1928)
Old Fashioned Love In My Heart – Joe Haymes AHO (May 4, 1932)
I Love That Dawning – Harry Hunt’s Imperial Orchestra of Alabama USA / Bob Canfield, v. (May 1927)
