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 take a trip to Hawaii, fulfill a request, celebrate the birthday of Ted Koehler, have a hot dog, and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Ted Koehler
July 14 marked the birth in 1894 in Washington, D. C. of lyricist Ted Koehler.

Stop! You’re Breaking My Heart – Jack White and His Collegians/Tony Morris
Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams – The Rhythmic Eight
Happy As the Day is Long – Adrian Rollini AHO
Minnie the Moocher’s Wedding Day – The Boswell Sisters

Segment 2: Hawaii
I received a very nice e-mail from listener Ron in Long Beach. He didn’t request anything in particular, but his e-mail had kind of a Hawaiian flair to it. So, for listener Ron in Long Beach, here are some rapidly rotating records having to do with Hawaii.

Hello, Aloha! How Are You – Sam Lanin’s Troubadors /Irving Kaufman
Honolulu Stomp – H. M. Barnes and His Blue Ridge Ramblers
Lonely Nights in Hawaii – Annette Hanshaw

Segment 3: Jesse and Leonard
I received an e-mail with specific request for “She’s a New Kind of Old-Fashioned Girl” by Jesse Crawford recorded May 7, 1929, accompanied by orchestra directed by Leonard Joy. Well, you were right, Larry, it was a long shot, and unfortunately, I don’t have that recording, but I have these.

I Love to Hear You Singing – Jesse Crawford
She’s A New Kind of Old-Fashioned Girl – Victor Orchestra [Leonard Joy] / Jack Smith, v.

July is National Hot Dog Month, and wouldn’t you know it – there are a few rapidly rotating records about hot dogs.

A Hot Dog, a Blanket and You – Gene Kardos AHO / Dick Robertson/Joel Shaw/Gene Kardos, v.
Hot Dogs and Sarsaparilla – Ted FioRito AHO/Muzzy Marcellino
Frankfurter Sandwiches – Al Lentz AHO / Unknown v.
