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? Even though Euell Gibbons died in 1975, he lives on in American popular culture history for his television commercials for Post Grape Nuts cereal, which he said “tastes like wild hickory nuts.” Well, who’s to argue? Who the hell knows what wild hickory nuts taste like? Why do I bring this up? Because the final segment of this week’s show features records all about carya floridana, or the hickory tree. We’ll be celebrating just one birthday this week, but it’s for a first-timer, Charles Fulcher. In the second segment we’ll give thanks, and in the third, we’ll do some tattling. And in the fourth segment we’ll be very diplomatic as The Diplomats are heard for the very first time on the show.

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!
