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’re going to celebrate a couple of birthdays, network radio’s first sponsored program, and an invention.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Paul Ash
February 11 marked the birth in 1891 in Saxony, Germany of Paul Ash.

You Don’t Like It – Not Much – Paul Ash and His Orchestra
My Pet – Paul Ash and His Orchestra
