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 do some remembering. Today is Memorial Day, traditionally May 30, but in recent years observed on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to the country.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Remembrance
In December of 2000, Congress passed the “National Moment of Remembrance” resolution, to re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day. It asks all Americans at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.” I hope you will take the opportunity to do just that. More information about Memorial Day is available on the internet at www.usmemorialday.org.
