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.

In the third segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records, we’re going to take a musical trip to St. Louis, Missouri, and hear the song in the sheet music above.  Most recordings of Saint Louis Blues are instrumentals, but we’ll hear a vocal version by Al Bernard. That is, right after getting back from our musical trip to Belgium in the second segment.  I ran out of time to play a record in last week’s segment about drinking, so it starts off the fourth segment this week, not about drinking, but about elephants! And the final segment of the show is about “the deep.”  There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage, relax and prepare to be transported magically back to a different musical era. Most importantly…

ENJOY THE SHOW!

I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes!
