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 fulfill a couple of requests, and celebrate the birthdays of Phil Spitalny, Harry M. Woods and Euday Bowman.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Phil Spitalny
November 7 marked the birth in 1890 in Odessa, Russia of bandleader Phil Spitalny.

I Want to Meander in the Meadow – Phil Spitalny’s Music
Miss You – Phil Spitalny’s Music
Good Night Sweetheart – Phil Spitalny’s Music / The Paull Sisters

Segment 2: Clouds
Dan offered a suggestion for a topic. He pointed out that winter will soon be here, with its attendant clouds, and suggested a segment of “cloud” songs.

The Clouds Will Soon Roll By – Graham Prince Orch
Watching the Clouds Roll By – Cliquot Club Eskimos /Tom Stacks
Sweeping The Clouds Away – Coon-Sanders Orch

Segment 3: Harry M Woods
November 4 marked the birth in 1896 in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts of composer, lyricist and pianist Harry McGregor Woods.

Paddlin’ Madeline Home – Flash Miller AHO
I’m Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover – Ben Bernie Hotel Roosevelt / Scrappy Lambert
I’ll Never say “Never Again” Again – Dorsey Bros. Orch/Don Mattison, Skeets Herfurt/Roc Hillman

Segment 4: Highways
Listener Dan also requested a specific song, and I’m happy to say, I have Highway to Heaven – and it’s the inspiration behind a whole set of highways.

(We’re On The) Highway To Heaven – Jackie Taylor Orchestra (1930)
Highways are Happy Ways – The Caroliners (Bob Haring AHO)
(We’re on the) Highway to Heaven – Ben Bernie and Hotel Roosevelt Orch/Unknown, v.

Segment 5: Euday Bowman
On November 9 1887, Euday Louis Bowman was born in Fort Worth, Texas. You may not recognize the name, but you’ve probably heard his most famous composition, 12th St. Rag which refers to 12th street in Kansas City, Missouri. So here to commemorate Euday Bowman’s birthday, are some rapidly rotating records about streets

12th St. Rag – Abe Lyman and His California Orchestra
47th St. Stomp – Jimmy Bertrand’s Washboard Wizards
42nd St – Don Bestor AHO / Dudley Mecum
