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.
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!

ENJOY THE SHOW!

Why in the world would we have the logo for Klein’s Rapid Shoe Repair Co., Inc. as the masthead of this page? Well, you’ll find out in the last segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. We’ll be celebrating not one, not two, not three but FOUR birthdays, those of J. Fred Helf, Jules Buffano, Charlie Johnson and Slatz Randall. And in the final segment, we’ll hear a couple of records about shoemakers!
