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’ve got songs to celebrate the birthdays of Paul Whiteman, Hal Kemp, and Robert Frost.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:
