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.

Before he was “Singin’ Sam,” Harry Frankel performed in blackface, an unfortunate part of his life as an entertainer and one I hope he would regret. Fortunately for us, he took on the persona of “Singin’ Sam” and you’ll hear three of his recordings as “Singin’ Sam” in the first segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. Irene Beasley and Clayton McMichen will also have birthday segments on the show. We’ll also enjoy some delicious soup and tell you all about the Dunning-Kruger Effect. 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.
