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!

Do you know who this lovely lady is? Singer Helen Clare who starts off this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records with her own segment for the first time. In other segments, we’ll cobble together some songs about cobblers, watch a parade, recap the West Coast Ragtime Festival and play “One Thing in Common.” That’s where we play records which seemingly have nothing whatsoever to with each other, yet have one thing in common. There’s plenty of great music and what I think is some fascinating information, so just click below to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
