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.

Jimmie Grier, George Olsen, Jean Goldkette, Joe Burke, Mort Dixon and Blue Barron were all among those vintage music composers and artists born last week, but on this evening’s show we’re going to play some swell songs, celebrate Spring, and listen to this past week in recording history.
