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.

Do you know who this lovely lady is? Her name is Kristi Turner. She’s not a composer, lyricist or musician, so why is she featured in the playlist of this week’s Rapidly Rotating Records? Kristi is the co-founder, along with her husband Ross, of Guided Discoveries, where I had the pleasure of working for more than a quarter century. Ross passed away unexpectedly last October and I dedicated a segment of the November 2 show to him. Kristi passed away just two months later and today, February 15, her family, friends and co-workers are gathering for a celebration of her life. In the first segment of this week’s show, you’ll hear little bit about Kristi and a number of records about a couple of her interests, dude ranches and horses. In other segments, Jimmy Durante gets a birthday segment and we’ll hear from Fred Spinelly. In the third segment, we’ll have our cake and listen to it, too! There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
