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 celebrate the birthdays of Lou Gold and Gene Rodemich, hear from Sam Robbins, do some flirting and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

I found a record titled “You Oughta Be Arrested”, which sounded interesting.
