Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 20 June 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.

On this evening’s show, we’re going to celebrate Father’s Day, and the birthdays of Cliff Edwards, Sammy Fain, and Guy Lombardo.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Father’s Day Today is Father’s Day, and so we’re going to begin and end the show with some songs about fathers, beginning with some advice.

Papa Better Watch Your Step – Lad’s Black Aces / Mandy Lee, v.
Papa, De Da Da – St. Louis Rhythm Kings – Original Indiana Five
Old Grand Dad – Fats Waller and His Rhythm

Segment 2: Guy Lombardo
June 19 marked the birth in 1902 in London, Ontario, Canada of violinist and bandleader Gaetano Lombardo, better known as Guy. Here’s Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, but “on the air” rather than from commercial records, these are radio transcriptions from broadcasts from 1935 and 36.
