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 hear from the high-hatted tragedian of song, pick some daisies, go to Kentucky, and hear some of what was recorded this past week in history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:
