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.

This is a special Father’s Day show, featuring rapidly rotating records about fathers, papas, daddies and grampas, but we’ll also have our regular “This Week in Recording History” segment.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Father’s

Thank Your Father – Rudy Marlow AHO / Jack Teagarden, scat v.

Segment 2: Papas

Mama Loves Papa – Isham Jones AHO
Poor Papa – Goofus Five (California Ramblers)
Sweet Little Papa – Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five

Segment 3: Daddies
Another synonym for father is daddy, which, in vintage record titles can have somewhat less than wholesome, family oriented connotations. I had to dig a little, but I managed to find a few G rated songs about daddies.

When I Wore My Daddy’s Brown Derby – Eddie Kireby Orch.
Daddy And Home – Jimmie Rodgers
My Daddy’s Dream-Time Lullaby – Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orch

We don’t want to leave grandpa out of this special Father’s Day edition of the show.
