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.

The record above was requested and is being heard on the show for the first time. It’s  definitely one of the stranger records we’ve played.  You’ll hear the story behind it in the third segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. Unfortunately the show starts off with two remembrances, for Jason “Crazy Jay” Bird and John Paragon, who played Jambi the Genie on Pee Wee’s Playhouse.  In topics about more pleasant subjects, we’ll have a vocabulary less, celebrate Alix COmbelle’s birthday and go wine tasting.  There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to a different musical era.. But most imporantly,  

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!
