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 have not one but two segments of “this week in recording history”, we’ll celebrate the beginning of life, and the birthday of Hoagy Carmichael, and have some songs of thanks.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: This Week in Recording History
This week we’re going to start off with our semi-regular portion of the show where we play rapidly rotating records having had a birthday this past week.

Segment 5: Thanksgiving
This coming Thursday is Thanksgiving Day here in the US. Thanksgiving celebrations and harvest festivals have been held since ancient times. What we have come to know as the “first Thanksgiving”, the famous 1621 Pilgrim event, wasn’t the first occurrence of the modern American holiday, but was a traditional secular English harvest celebration. I’m thankful for the opportunity to bring you some great music from the 1920s and 30s, and I’m gonna do just that.

Thank Your Father – The Knickerbockers / Smith Ballew
Thanks a Million – Mound City Blue Blowers
Thanks for the Buggy Ride – Percival Mackey and His Band
