Welcome to 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.

Rapidly Rotating Records Show – April 16, 2017

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can't *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and'30s. 

This edition of Rapidly Rotating Records was delayed due to computer issues, but they were resolved *relatively* quickly and inexpensively and we're back up and running. Unfortunately, this show has some time sensitive information, but as they say, better late than never. I believe I've played a contemporary recording only once before, but there are several on this show. They're played to alert you to recordings and appearances by Vince Giordano's Nighthawks, Richard Dowling and Frederick Hodges. Thanks for listening and supporting these fine artists.

RRR is also available as a podcast on iTunes. Simply enter Rapidly Rotating Records in the iTunes search box and a link to the show will appear. Our iTunes ID has changed, and is now https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/rapidly-rotating-records/id1166703514.
