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 kissing, fulfill some requests, go home, and celebrate the birthdays of Louis Herscher, Rube Bloom and Jimmie Noone.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: The Kiss
This past week I had a request for El Beso by Adrian Schubert. In Spanish El Beso means “The kiss”, so you can see what the inspiration behind this segment is.

Ooh, That Kiss – Doc Wilson AHO / Charles Aryman, v.
El Beso – Hollywood Dance Orchestra (Adrian Schubert) AHO
Kiss By Kiss – Ray Starita and His Band

Segment 2: Southern Homes
There are lots of recordings of “My Ohio Home”, most with a short vocal refrain. Listener Michael sent a request last week for any version of “My Ohio Home” which had the full verse.

My Southern Home – The Rhythmic Eight / Maurice Elwin, v.
Louisiana, That’s My Home – Harris Brothers Texans
