Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 12 January 2020

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.

Normally we try to stay within our stated parameters of music of the 1920s and ’30s. But on this week’s show we’re going all the way back to the 19th century to play an Edison cylinder from 1899! In the first segment we’re going to do some traveling. That will be followed by a birthday celebration for Edwin Franko Goldman. In the third segment you’ll find out everything there is to know about J. Fred Helf, except what the J stands for! After that we’ll wake up and smell the coffee and in the final segment, we’re going to go head over heels.

Thank you for your very kind attention!

Enjoy the show!
