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.

This evening we’re not playing the usual Red Nichols version of our theme song, “Avalon”, but a 1935 version by Harry Roy and His Orchestra, that’s because, at the suggestion of listener Mort in Great Neck, New York, this evening’s show is made up of rapidly rotating records all by British bands.

Enjoy the show!
