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 celebrate the birthdays of Al Piantadosi and Cliff Jackson, have some songs about my gal, have a visit from Cupid, and have a spot of tea.
