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.

We celebrate a lot of birthdays on the show…musicians, composers, historical figures, and so on. Well, today, July 13, marks the birth in 19, well, never mind what year, of…yours truly. So, a couple of segments of tonight’s show will do a variation on “this week in recording history” and feature rapidly rotating records that were also born, so to speak, on July 13.

Enjoy the show!
