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 play a few “hundred” records, we’ll spend some time in the kitchen, do some shooting, and play some “miscellaneous” and “adorable” records.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:
