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 CAPS records, have a half segment, go whale watching, half fulfill some requests, and celebrate some birthdays.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: CAPS Finds
A couple of weeks ago, I attended the annual California Antique Phonograph Society’s show and sale in Anaheim, California. Last week I played a blue Columbia that I got at the sale, and here are some other records I picked up. I don’t believe I’ve played any of these bands on the show before.

Do Something – Del Delbridge and His Capitol Theater Orchestra / Unidentified v.
She Chills Me – Chic Scoggin and The Pla-Mor Orchestra / Unidentified, v.
If I Can’t Have You – Gerald Marks AHO / Nelson Bitterman, v.
Black Horse Stomp – George Posnak AHO

Segment 2: Halfway

Half Way To Heaven – Cliff Edwards
Half A Moon – Devine’s Wisconsin Roof Orchestra
Half A Kiss – George Fisher and His Kit-Kat Band

Segment 3: Whales

Monstro the Whale – Ted Weems AHO / Red Ingle & Marvell Maxwell, v.
Whale Dip – Blue Ribbon Syncopators
Three Little Fishies – Kay Kyser / Harry Babbitt, v.

Segment 4: Requests
Joakim in Amsterdam, The Netherlands has been listening to the show for about a year and sent a nice email last week. He requested three specific recordings, and I have all three songs, but not by any of the bands that he requested. But these are some pretty nice versions, which he may not have heard, and which I think he’ll like.

Blue Baby – Kenneth Casey AHO
Take me in your arms – Walter Feldkamp AHO / Elmer Feldkamp, v.
Pretty Cinderella – Fred Rich and his Hotel Astor Orchestra / Unidentified, v.

Segment 5: Happy Birthday
Fred Rose was born August 24, 1897
Jesse Greer, was born August 26, 1896
Claude Hopkins was born August 24, 1903
Wendell Hall was born August 23, 1896

Doo Dah Blues – Lanin’s Southern Serenaders (Fred Rose)
I Lost My Gal Again – Carolina Club Orchestra (Harry Reser) / Tom Stacks, v. (Jesse Greer)
