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 fulfill a couple of requests and have several vocabulary lessons.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Zez Confrey
This request comes from musician and RRR listener Hannu in Finland, who is recovering from some surgery on his Achille’s tendon. So, with best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery, we’re going to have a couple of segments with Hannu’s requests.

Charleston Chuckles – Zez Confrey AHO
Coaxin’ The Piano – Zez Confrey, Piano Solo
All Muddled Up – Zez Confrey AHO

Segment 2: Tubicinate
I don’t watch a lot of television, but one show I do make a point of tuning in is Jeopardy. One of the categories last week was “Archaic and Obscure Words” and so, as a public service, here’s the first of three vocabulary lessons tonight using words from that category. The first word is tubicinate, an intransitive verb meaning to blow a trumpet. So here are some rapidly rotating records about tubicinating.

Troublesome Trumpet – Harry Roy and His Mayfair Hotel Orchestra / Harry Roy, v.
Trumpetous – Nat Gonella and His Georgians
The OKEH Laughing Record (The Trumpet Lesson)

Segment 4: Febrific
The next word in this evening’s vocabulary lesson is febrific. It comes from the latin febris for fever and means producing fever, feverish or having a fever.

Swing Fever – Frankie and Johnny Orchestra
High Fever – Coon-Sanders Orchestra
Charleston Fever – O’Bryant’s Original Washboard Band
Spring Fever – Rube Bloom (Piano)

Segment 5: Lachrymiform
The last word in our vocabulary lesson this evening is lachrymiform, an adjective meaning tear-shaped, or having the form of a tear. Yes – it’s a segment with tears.

Tears – King Olivers Jazz Band
Through My Tears – Ralph Bennett Orchestra / Elmer Feldkamp, v.
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes – Ruth Etting

Segment 5: Frank Banta 
Hannu’s other request was for Frank Banta.

My Sugar – Frank Banta
I Can’t Believe That You’re In Love With Me – Johnny Marvin (Andy Sanella, g. – Frank Banta, p)
Charleston Capers – George H. Green, xylophone / Frank Banta, piano
