The post Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 5 March 2006 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 celebrate the birthdays of Harry Archer and Nacio Herb Brown, get left out in the cold, play some dirty songs and fulfill a request.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Cold
Listener James sent an e-mail to tell me that it was minus 11 degrees in Waterloo, Iowa, where he’s from. I had already decided to do a segment of “cold” songs, when James sent a follow-up a few days later to let me know that a new record was set when the mercury fell to minus 19. So for listener James, here’s that set of “cold” songs.

Oh, Don’t the Wind Blow Cold – George Formby
Out in the Cold Again – Roy Fox and His Band / Denny Dennis
You Better Keep the Home Fires Burning (Cause Your Mamma’s Gettin’ Cold) – Goofus Five

Segment 2: Harry Archer
February 21 marked the birth in 1888 in Creston, Iowa of composer Harry Archer.

Desert Isle – Edwin J. McEnelly’s Orch
I’m Gonna Dance With The Guy Wot Brung Me – Harry Reser’s Six Jumping Jacks / Tom Stacks
I Love You – Vincent Lopez & Hotel PA Music

Segment 3: Dirt
You may recall that listener Mike in Pasadena is recuperating from what was originally thought to be a spider bite. Well, Mike had been out working in the garden and apparently the real culprit was an organism in the dirt which attacked him through a cut or scratch. So, for listener Mike, here’s a set of rapidly rotating records about dirt.

Dirty Hands! Dirty Face – Ernest Stevens D O
Dirty Dog – Whoopee Makers / Jack Teagarden
Plain Dirt – McKinney’s Cotton Pickers

Segment 4: Nacio Herb Brown
Deming, New Mexico is the birthplace of composer Nacio Herb Brown, born last week, February 22 in 1896.

The Wedding of the Painted Doll – Layton & Johnstone
Singin’ In The Rain – B A Rolfe ah Lucky Strike Orchestra / Walter Scanlan, v.
All I Do Is Dream Of You – Henry Hall ah BBC DO / Kitty Masters, v.
Broadway Melody – Nat Shilkret and the Victor Orch / The Four Rajahs

Segment 5: Rube Bloom
Listener Derek down in New Zealand wrote in last week requesting some solo piano recordings by Rube Bloom, and I am only too happy to oblige.

The Doll Dance – Rube Bloom, Piano
That Futuristic Rag – Rube Bloom , Piano
Spring Fever – Rube Bloom, Piano
