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 leaving, have some marionettes, hear some songs by Larry Yoell, engage in some capers, and play some records for no particular reason.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Leave Me

Don’t You Leave Me Here – Charlie Johnson’s Original Paradise Ten / Monette Moore
Why Did You Leave Me Alone? – Jacksonville Harmony Trio / Charles Frazier
How Could You Leave Me Now – New Orleans Jazz Band

Segment 2: Marionette

Laughing Marionette – Carl Fenton Orch
Marionette – Ben Selvin AHO / Franklyn Baur, v.
March Of The Marionettes – Varsity Four

Segment 3: Larry Yoell
On last week’s show I played “I Got A Misery”, which was written by Herb Scharlin and Larry Yoell, and mentioned that Larry Yoell wrote the lyrics to a number of other songs, including these:

You, Just You – Ray Noble AHO / Al Bowlly, v.
Please Believe Me – Jack Harris and His Orchestra / Sam Costa, v.
Walkin’ Around In A Dream – Herman Kenin’s Multnomah Hotel Orchestra / Ted O’Hara, v.

Segment 4: Capers
Listener Mary is in Ontario, Canada, and listens to the show on shamrockradio.com. She sent a nice email last week asking to hear “Canadian Capers”. So for listener Mary, here’s not only Canadian Capers, but several other capers.

Canadian capers – Paul Biese Trio
Carmen Capers – Sam Lanin
Charleston Capers – Geo Hamilton Green & Frank Banta
Kiddie Kapers – Varsity Four

Segment 5: For No Particular Reason
A set of songs that have no connection beyond just being awesome.
