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 have some more amphibious songs, we’ll take a wrong turn, work some magic, listen to the babbling brook and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Frogs
There is a surprising number of vintage songs about Frogs…

Frog Tongue Stomp – Lovie Austin
The Bull Frog Patrol – Duncan Sisters
The Frog on the Water Lily – Lew Stone and his Band / Al Bowlly, v.

Segment 2: Wrong
Did you know that January 22 marked the birth in 1907 in Galveston, Texas of American aviator and aircraft mechanic, Douglas Corrigan? Listener Rich knew, and let me know. Charles was nicknamed “Wrong Way” Corrigan after supposedly misreading his compass and flying from New York to Ireland instead of to Long Beach, California. Which seems like a great idea for a segment.

All Wrong – Isham Jones AHO
Somebody’s Wrong – Boyd Senter and His Senterpedes
Right Or Wrong – Gene Rodemich’s Orchestra
Some Day You’ll Realize You’re Wrong – Bar Harbor Society Orchestra / Irving Kaufman(?), v.
Was It Wrong? – Lou Gold AHO / Frank Parker, v.

Segment 3: Magic

The Magic of You – Lud Gluskin AHO / Buddy Clark, v
Magic Island – Bob Haring AHO as Society Night Club Orch / Unidentified, v.
Magic Love – Green Bros Marimba Orch as Marimba Dance Orchestra

Segment 4: Brook

Beside A Babbling Brook – Ben Bernie AHO
Where The Bab-Bab-Babbling Brook (Goes Bub-Bub-Bubbling By) – Dave Bernie AHO
In A Shady Nook By A Babbling Brook – Bernie Cummins AHO / Walter Cummins, v.
Babbling Brook – University Syncopators (GG Studio Band)

Segment 5: This Week In Recording History
A few Rapidly Rotating Records are celebrating birthdays, having been recorded this past week in years past.

Somebody’s Making A Fuss Over Somebody – Original Indiana Five / Bob Merwin, v.
Becky Play Your Violin – Harry Roy and His Café Anglais Orch / Harry Roy, v.
You Got Something There – Jack Hylton AHO / Sam Browne, v.
I’ll Take Her Back If She Wants To Come Back – Ernie Golden ah Hotel McAlpin Orch
