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’re going to play four songs. Well, actually we’ll play more than four songs, but they’ll all have to do with the number four. We’ll have some fours, some fourths, and even a quartet of quartets. That’s because we’re celebrating our fourth anniversary on the air here at KISL. It all started July 23, 2000, and we’re still here and going strong.

Enjoy the show!
