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 Bob Haring, Fred Rose and Wendell Hall, have some songs about moonbeams and listen to this past week in recording history.

Segment 4: Moonbeams
For those of you who were not able to be “nighthawks” and stay up to listen live, the air check of my recent guest spot on “Don’t’ Touch That Dial” is available for streaming on the website, rapidlyrotatingrecords.com. The wrong track got played on “selling things”. What was supposed to be played is this:

Moonbeam, Kiss Her For Me – B. F. Goodrich Silvertown Cord Orchestra / The Silver-Masked Tenor
Out Where The Moonbeams Are Born – Ben Bernie ah Hotel Roosevelt Orch / Scrappy Lambert
Moonbeam, Kiss Her For Me – Lew Gold AHO
