Rapidly Rotating Records 78RPM Show – July 30, 2017

Wecome 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. 

CONGRATULATIONS to longtime listener Alex from Quebec, Canada who won the drawing for the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra's CD "Step With Pep!" It will go out in the mail tomorrow. I'm sorry everyone who sent an email requesting the CD couldn't win, but everyone can easily get a copy from the orchestra's website www.PecherineRagtime.com or at www.RivermontRecords.com. 

On this week's edition of the show, we'll do some more muggin', have a colorful segment, and some songs about nothing, nothin' and something. Per usual, there are at least a couple of records making their RRR debut. If you enjoy the show, please let us know by leaving a comment on the website or the Facebook page. And remember, your requests and topoic segments are always welcome. As a matter of fact, one of the records on this week's show is a request.
