A “Goofy” Edition of RRR # 1,349 May 24, 2026

"Peaches" Browning, born Frances Belle Heenan.

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 person is? She’s Frances Belle Heenan, better known as “Peaches.” Peaches was at the heart of one of the most sensational scandals of the 1920s and you’ll find out all about it in the third segment of this week’s show. In other segments we’ll have another RRR vocabulary lesson, open some things, hear some more from Johnny Sylvester and play “One Thing in Common.” 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.
