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.

I’m going to bet that everyone seeing this photograph knows the name of the subject. That’s right! it’s Pete the Pup from the Our Gang / Little Rascals comedies. On this week’s edition of the show, you’ll hear all about Pete as well as three rapidly rotating records about some other pups. There are also three birthday segments this week, for Lou Herscher, Gene Rodemich and Lou Gold. And in the second segment, we’ll play “Jacks.” I’m still trying to play “catch-up” now that we’re back from our little excursion to Tennessee and environs and will post shows as quickly as I possibly can. 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.
