The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 3 June 2007 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 “nola” songs, fulfill a request, celebrate a birthday and play some more “nola” songs.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Nola
What are “nola” songs, I hear you cry? Well, you’ll recall that last week I played the Revelers rendition of Felix Arndt’s composition “Nola” as part of a set celebrating his birthday. Now I’ve been accused in the past of using gimmicks to come up with playlistson this show, and that’s OK. So how’s this for a gimmick. As I was looking through the various recordings of Felix Arndt’s “Nola”, I came across a number of songs whose titles ended with “nola”, kind of like a suffix.

Pompanola – Broadway Nitelites (Selvin)
Saxonola – Clyde Doerr
The Londonola – Billy Merrin and His Commanders / Ken Crossley, v.
Seminola – The Original Indiana Five

Segment 2: More Nola
Well, we just heard Pompanola, Saxonola, Londonola and Seminola. How many more “nola” songs can there be? Well, at least 3.

Rubenola – Rudy Weidoeft
The Cubanola Glide – Billy Murray
Indianola – Wilbur Sweatman’s Original Jazz Band

Segment 3: Fats Waller
May 21 marked the birth in 1904 in Waverly, New York of Thomas Wright Waller, better known as “Fats”.

Do Me A Favor – Fats Waller and his Rhythm
After You’ve Gone – Fats Waller / Bennie Paine
Don’t Let It Bother You – Fats Waller and his Rhythm

Segment 4: Al Jolson
May 26 marked the birth in 1886 in Lithuania of Asa Yoelson, better known as Al Jolson. Actually that may or may not have been the real day or even the real year of his birth. It’s not known exactly when Jolson was born, but he chose May 26 as his birthday simply because he liked the idea of being born in the spring.

Blue River – William F. Wirges AHO (w/Harry Reser)
Back To The Carolina You Love – Al Jolson
One Sweet Kiss – Al Jolson

Segment 5: Requests
Listener Alvin sent an email last week with three requests, and I’m pleased to be able to play all three.

Happy Rhythm – The Musical Stevedores
Collegiate Fanny – Kaye Kyser AHO

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 birthdays of J. Fred Coots, Henry Hall, Bing and Billy Cotton, and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Mistakes
But first, we’re going to correct a mistake. Last week, I played The Man From The South (With A Big Cigar In His Mouth) and announced it as by Rube Bloom and His Bayou Boys. I mentioned that I had lots of versions of that song, and I apparently got confused and actually played Ted Weems’ December 2, 1929 version, with Parker Gibbs. So HERE is Rube Bloom and His Bayou Boys with Roy Evans.

The Man From the South – Rube Bloom

Segment 2: J. Fred Coots
