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.

This week is a four-segment, all-birthday edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. We’ll be celebrating the birthdays of Gladys DuBois, Bob Effros, Charles L. Johnson and Lew Reynolds. I realized after finishing the show, that I did not back announce one of the records in the Bob Effros segment, “Waiting For The Moon.” It was performed by Ben Selvin and His Orchestra credited as Lloyd Keating and His Music with the vocal by Jack Miller, credited as Robert Wood. At least Johnson and Shirley say it’s Jack Miller. The ARSC Journal says it’s not Jack Miller, but doesn’t offer an identity and at least one other source credits Scrappy Lambert. And apparently it’s not Bob Effros on trumpet on that recording but Manny Klein. I’m not sure where I got that it was Grandpa Bob, but that gives you an idea of the degree of incorrect information out there. I do my best to make sure that everything I say on the show is accurate, but sometimes, it’s not, and when I find out, I try to make correction. Nonetheless, “Waiting For The Moon” is a nice record.

Enjoy the show!
