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’re not celebrating any birthdays, but the sky’s the limit, we’ll fulfill some requests, go into hiding, reach for the moon, and play some yummy songs.
