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.

Do you know who this fellow is? He’s French jazz pianist and bandleader Ray Ventura and he starts off this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records with three records not heard on the show before. We’ll also be celebrating the birthdays of John I. White, Joe Daniels and Joe Crossman. And in the third segment, I have some swampland I’d like to sell you.   There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to a different–and we thing better–musical era. 

ENJOY THE SHOW!
