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.

Welcome to a special Halloween edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. This week’s show features songs about ghosts, witches, black cats, haunted houses and even a zombie or two! You’ll also hear about the origins of Halloween. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to an earlier–and we think better–musical era.
