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 fellow is? He’s composer Joseph Meyer and his birthday segment ends this week’s felicific show. And in the third segment of the show, you’ll find out what felicific means! George Thomas also has a birthday segment which starts off the show. And we’ll also have a “still” segment. 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.
