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.
Like last week, there are not one, not two, but three first time birthday segments on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. You’ll hear all about Gus Edwards (pictured above), Bob Haring and Ben Russell. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because we spotlighted Benee Russell last week. Ben Russell and Benee Russell are the same person, and produced such a large number of compositions, that he’s getting another segment this week! It’s not his birthday, but Bernardo De Pace is getting his own segment as well. And in the final segment we’ll hear about some girlie girls.
ENJOY THE SHOW!
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!

‘Why Can’t a Fellow Like Me Get a Girlie Lie You?”
THAT instrumental definitely ‘moves out.’
Arthur Lange and orchestra in top form, indeed.
Noteworthy is the superb audio quality from an early (March, 1926) electrical recording.
