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 do some remembering, give it to you straight from the shoulder, and celebrate a number of birthdays.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Remember

I got a nice email from longtime listener Marshall, requesting “Will You Remember Me?” by Harry Richman, so let’s remember a few more things…

Remember Me – Ray Starita and His Ambassadors Band / Lou Abelardo, v
Remember I Love You – Jimmy McHugh’s Bostonians (Cr. Sunny Clapp and His Band o’ Sunshine) / Claude Reese, v
Will You Remember Me – Harry Richman
You’re So Easy To Remember – Abe Lyman AHO / Phil, Neely, v.

Segment 2: Shoulder
In 2003 we had a shoulder segment to help my friend’s speedy recovery after surgery, now in 2011 he’s had his whole shoulder replaced. Speedy recovery Charlie, but please, if you injure yourself again, make it a different body part. There are only so many vintage songs about shoulders, y’know.

You Can’t Cry Over My Shoulder – Park Lane Orchestra / Vaughn De Leath, v.
Shake Your Little Shoulder – The Happy Six
There’s A Rainbow ‘Round My Shoulder – Golden Gate Orchestra
Straight From The Shoulder – Richard Himber and His Ritz Carlton Orchestra / Joey Nash, v.

Segment 3: Composers Birthdays
