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.

This evening we’re going to enjoy a spot of “tea”, hear about “right and wrong”, listen to some timely songs, and have an etiquette lesson.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Tea
To get us started, how about a nice cuppa?

A Nice Cup of Tea – Billy Cotton
The Boston Tea Party – Mal Hallet AHO / Buddy Welcome, v.
Tea for Two – Waring’s Pennsylvanians / The Three Girlfriends, v.
Teapot Dome Blues – Fletcher Henderson and His Club Alabam Orchestra

Segment 2: Right & Wrong
November 2 marked the opening in 1937 of the politically satirical play “I’d Rather Be Right”. So here to commemorate “I’d Rather Be Right”, are some songs about right and wrong.

All Wrong – Isham Jones AHO
Someday You’ll Realize You’re Wrong – The California Ramblers / Wallace T. “Ed” Kirkeby, v.
Stay on the Right Side of the Road – Dorsey Brothers Orchestra / Bing Crosby, v.
Baby, You’ve Got the Right Idea – Ray Noble and the New Mayfair Dance Orchestra

Segment 3: Times
October 30 in 1894, Daniel M. Cooper of Rochester, New York patented the time clock. So to commemorate Mr. Cooper’s time clock, here’s a set of songs with some specific times that a time clock might punch.

About a Quarter to Nine – Wingy Manone AHO
Four o-clock Blues – The Ted Claire Snappy Bits Band
One o’clock Blues – Leroy Tibbs and His Connies Inn Ork
Three o-clock in the Morning – Paul Whiteman

Segment 4: Etiquette
October 30 marked the birth in 1872 of Emily Price. In 1890 Emily married Edwin Post, to become Emily Post. The etiquette authority who defined manners for millions of Americans wrote society fiction and essays before writing her classic book Etiquette – The Blue Book of Social Usage. So here are some songs in honor of Emily Post.

Etiquette Blues – Mona Motor Oil Twins
I Left My Sugar Standing in the Rain – Rhythmic Eight / Eddie Collis, v.
Watching the Knife and Fork Spoon – Don Redman AHO
