A “Lunatic” Edition of RRR #1231 February 18, 2024

Dan Hornsby

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? No, he’s not a lunatic, as the title of this show might suggest. He’s singer, bandleader, composer and radio entertainer Dan Hornsby. You’ll hear him in three of those roles in the fourth segment of this week’s show. We’ll also be celebrating the birthday of John Burckhardt, as pianist and playing bells. In other segments, we’ll hear from some maniacs, get colorful and try to identify just what belongs to whom. There’s lots of great music and interesting information, so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be taken back to an earlier–and we think better-musical era. Just click on the player above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
