Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 23 August 2009

Rapidly Rotating Records Logo

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 gonna do some strolling, fulfill a request, hear from some Rose Maries, walk down the sunset trail, and be ashamed.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Strolling

Strollin’ In The Moonlight With You – Nathan Glantz AHO / Unidentified, v.
Strolling In The Sunshine – Billy James AHO
Strolling In The Moonlight – Charles Kaley
Hallelujah – Cliquot Club Eskimos / Stroller’s Quartet

Segment 2: Rose Marie

My Rose Marie – Benson Orch
Little Shepherd Of My Dreams – Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians / Rose Marie Lombardo, v.
Rose Marie – Broadway Dance Orch

Segment 3: Ashamed
Unashamedly the inspiration for this set came when looking through lists of song titles, I happened across “Ain’t You Ashamed”…

Ain’t You Ashamed – Arcadia Peacock Orchestra of St. Louis
You Ought to Be Ashamed – Bessie Smith
I’m So Ashamed – Russo and FioRito’s Oriole Orchestra / Mark Fisher, v.

Segment 4: Bernie Cummins & Henry Busse
Listener Kay requested something by bandleaders Bernie Cummins and Henry Busse.

Out Of The Dawn – Bernie Cummins AHO / Bernie Cummins, Walter Cummins, v.
You Don’t Know What You’re Doin’ – Henry Busse Orchestra / Knox Pugh & Chorus, v.
F’r Instance – Bernie Cummins AHO / Walter Cummins, v.
Beautiful – Henry Busse Orch / Richard Berry, v.

Segment 5: Sunset
At last week’s Monday night Salon, listener Will and I were talking about the playlist for last week’s show, when the subject of film “The Sunset Trail”, which had versions in 1917 and 1924 came up. Will also mentioned a song titled “Down On The Sunset Trail”. Unfortunately, if it was even recorded, I don’t have that record. But, for Will and the rest of the Cactus County Cowboys, who have no doubt spent considerable time out on the sunset trail, are some other rapidly rotating records about the sunset trail, beginning with Billy Cotton and His Band

The Sunset Trail – Billy Cotton and His Band
Beside The Sunset Trail – Isham Jones AHO / Ralph Kirberry, v.
Moonlight On The Sunset Trail – Russ Morgan AHO / Russ Morgan, v.
