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.

On this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records we’ll celebrate the birthdays of Billy Thorburn and Sonny Clay, we’ll make a mess and even though it’s not Halloween, we’ll have some songs about some black cats. We’ll also have three songs about shirts. Why? Because for a very limited time, you can get a premium quality KISL T-Shirt! The Catalina Island Performing Arts Foundation is offering KISL Island Radio T-Shirts in order to raise funds to help offset the operational costs of the station. Here’s your chance to be stylin’ and help support the station. There are five different styles, five different colors and eight sizes, so there’s at least one that’s just right for everyone. But, they are only available until May 31, so oder yours now. All orders will be shipped beginning June 8. Just click HERE for complete descriptions and ordering information. There’s lots of great music and interesting information on this week’s show, so set aside an hour to relax over your favorite beverage and be taken back in time to a different musical era.
