Welcome to 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 week's edition of the show, Al Piantadosi basks in the birthday spotlight. We'll also have a "red hot" segment, do some giving and celebrate a number of other composers' birthdays.
