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 Ruth Etting and Vee Lawnhurst, listen to this past week in recording history and play some down and under songs. Why? Because it’s my great pleasure to welcome the listeners of Wellsford Radio 107.7 FM down under in New Zealand to the rapidly rotating records audience.
