Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 21 November 2004

Rapidly Rotating Records Logo

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.

Although listeners to this show might not believe it, I’m generally known as a pauciloquent person. Pauciloquent is a rare, archaic word meaning “uttering few words, or speaking briefly”. So, this evening’s show features rapidly rotating records of few words, at least in their titles.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Pauciloquent Titles
All tonight’s songs have pauciloquent titles of just one word, starting with these.
