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 evenings show I have some new acquisitions to share with you, as well as some angelic songs.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Tonight
Last week, NBC aired a special called “50 Years of Late Night”. So in commemoration of the “Tonight Show”, here are some “tonight” songs.

Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight – Miff Mole’s Molers
Tonight You Belong to Me – Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Orchestra
If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight – George E. Lee and His Orchestra
After Tonight – Clarence Williams AHO / Clarence Williams, v.

I’m a member of a number of vintage music, and recorded sound organizations including CAPS. Here are a few of the 78s I picked up at this year’s annual phonograph show and sale.

One Kiss – Selvin’s Orch

Only You – The International Novelty Orchestra / Lewis James, v.
