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.

What with many school districts on year round schedules, the traditional “back to school” right after the labor day holiday isn’t as prevalent as in the past. But nonetheless we’re going to devote this show to education. Songs about learning, school, and college

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Campus Students

Spreadin’ Knowledge Around – Ben Pollack AHO
Campus Capers – Charles Dornberger Orchestra

Here are a couple of songs about some students.

Collegiate Love – Ted Weems AHO

Segment 3: Where did you learn?

Harvard Hop – Adrian Schubert and His Salon Orchestra
The Yale Blues – Waring’s Pennsylvanians

Well, we’ve had a lot of songs about school activities, but not much about what school is supposed to be all about, that is, learning.
