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 Vaughn De Leath, Ted Weems, Vincent Youmans and Al Hoffman, and play some “baby” songs.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: My Baby
This past week I had a request for “My Baby Says It’s So” by Vincent Lopez and His Orchestra. Unfortunately, I don’t have that record, but here are a few of the 149 records about “my baby” that I do have.
