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.

This is a photograph of Avalon in 1893 when it was referred to as “Rag City.” Find out why it was called that in the third segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. In other segments, we’ll have a vocabulary lesson and play “One Thing In Common.” We’ll also enjoy some pork products and celebrate Alfred Solman’s birthday. 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.
