RRR 13th Anniversary Show!

Welcome to "Rapidly Rotating Records", Glenn Robison's weekly, one-hour radio program of "toe-tapping music from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and 30s", broadcast Sunday evenings at 6:00 PM over KISL FM 88.7 Avalon.

THIRTEEN! That's the number of years that Rapidly Rotating Records has been broadcast on KISL.  We started back in late July of 2000 and have been here ever since.  For the past 12 years, I've been able to find enough "numerical" songs associated with that years' anniversary for at least one segment.  But darned if I could find and "thirteen" songs. So this week we've got songs about puppies, we'll take a musical trip to Detroit, fulfill some requests, fix breakfast and hear from some "Lynn"s.  Just click on the link below to instantly listen streaming online and/or download the show. And as always, your comments, topic suggestions and requests are always welcome.

      Thanks, Leah. Nearly all of the shows are uploaded to the website, although not necessarily linked to a post. You can access the mp3 of older shows by entering the direct URL using the following date format yyyymmdd, where the date is a Sunday. For example, to listen to the May 15, 2005 show, enter the following URL in your browser:
      http://www.glennrobison.com/wp-content/shows/20050515.mp3
      and that show should start streaming online immediately. A few dates may not result in a show playing because of repeats.
