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 evening’s show is starting out a little different. This being our Christmas show, I’ve got a Christmas present for you: I’m going to shut up and just play a whole show of vintage Christmas records, with no commentary, no Ids, no promos, and no announcements.

So, sit back and relax with a nice hot cider and enjoy the next hour of vintage music with my best wishes for a very Merry Christmas.

Enjoy the show!
