Happy New Year from RRR # 1225 January 7, 2024

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.

Welcome to the very first Rapidly Rotating Records show of 2024! On this week’s show we’ll celebrate the birthdays of James “Slap” White and Emerson Gill. We’ll also welcome the new year by having a “Happy,” a “New” and “Year” segments. 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.
