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.

While you’re listening to the original Sunday night broadcast of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records, I’m actually in Vermont, attending a family reunion. So in the first segment of the show, you’ll hear some tunes about Vermont. Among other things such as Vermont cheddar cheese and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Vermont is famous for maple syrup. In the second segment of the show we’ll have records about syrup and maple trees, including the song pictured in the sheet music above. The family reunion revolves around the “Beanpot” so the third segment of the show is all about beans, beans and more beans. We’ll also be celebrating the birthdays of George Graff and Peter Packay. There’s lot 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!
