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.
With April 1 coming up in a few days, on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records we’ll have a little fun and the record above may give you a clue as to what’s going on. We’ll be celebrating the birthdays of Haydn Wood and Frankie Carle and in the fourth segment we’ll do a little struggling. The first segment of the show will be taken up with another episode of “One Thing In Common” but you’ll have no trouble at all figuring out the common threat of the three records in the set. Your comments and feedback about the show are always welcome, but especially so for this edition. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be taken magically back to a different musical era. Most importantly…
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!

I guess we fooled ya, Sam! For you and anyone else who was confused by “my” voice on the March 28th show, as am April Fools joke, Bryan Wright, host of the vintage music podcast The Shellac Stack and I swapped personas. I hosted his show, following his script and he hosted mine, following my script. Many people listen to both shows regularly and quickly caught on, but some may still be trying to figure it out! You can hear me hosting Bryan’s show at his website http://www.shellacstack.com. It’s show 219, but all of Bryan’s previous shows are also available for listening streaming online and/or to download for listening at your convenience.
