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.

We have a honey of a show for you this evening. We’re also going to celebrate our 50th state, and have a word quiz.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Mellifluous

I Went to Hilo – Johnny Noble and His Hawaiian
Singin’ in the Rain – Sam Ku West and His Royal Hawaiian / Annette Hanshaw, v.
Someday Sweetheart – Sam Ku West and His Royal Hawaiian
