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 fulfill a request, and we’ll celebrate four birthdays, those of 2 composers, a singer and a state.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:
