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.

Recently, a number of listeners have sent e-mails asking about details of our theme song and several of the records that we use for background music on promos and station IDs. So on this evening’s show, you’re going to get to hear all of those records in their entirety, without the voiceover, and as you’re gonna hear, they are some terrific records.

Enjoy the show!
