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 some musical questions, I’ll be serving some musical java, and we’ll find out what October is all about.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Lost and Found
