Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 6 April 2003

Rapidly Rotating Records Logo

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 be doing some dancing, putting on some hats, drinking some coffee, and take a trip down south to Dixie.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Dancing
April 4 marked the birth in 1895 on New York’s lower east side of Moses Teichman. You may not recognize the name Moses Teichman, but you have probably heard of him as Arthur Murray. The first official Arthur Murray franchise was opened in Minneapolis in 1938, and many more followed. So here to commemorate Arthur Murray’s birthday, are some dancing songs.

Dance Little Lady – B A Rolfe
Latest Dance Hits Medley – Coliseum Dance Orch

Segment 2: Coffee
April 3 in 1829, James Carrington of Wallingford, Connecticut, received a patent for his coffee mill. So to commemorate Mr. Carrington’s invention, here are some rapidly rotating records about one of my favorite beverages….coffee

Ain’t Got Nobody to Grind Ma Coffee – Caroline Johnson
Let’s Have Another Cup of Coffee – Enriq Madreguera
You’re the Cream in My Coffee – Annette Hanshaw and Her Novelty Orchestra

Segment 3: Hats
April 3 in 1866, Rudolph Eickemeyer and G. Osterheld received a patent for a blocking and shaping machine for hats. So in commemoration are some rapidly rotating records about hats.

Segment 4: Dixie
April 4 in 1859 in New York City, Daniel Decatur Emmett introduced his new song, “I Wish I was in Dixie’s Land”, which was later named, simply, “Dixie. Just two years later, the song became identified as a Southern tune, to the dismay of the composer, who was not a Southern sympathizer. In any case, to commemorate Daniel Emmett’s song, here are some rapidly rotating records about Dixie.
