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.
Do you know who this fellow is? He’s trumpeter, cornetist and composer Edward Llewellyn and he is getting a birthday segment for the first time on this week’s show. Turns out, Ed was quite a sportsman, too. He’s shown here on Catalina Island in August of 1903 next to his record-breaking 425 pound black sea bass! The show starts off with a birthday salute to Basil Fomeen who has been featured several times on the show recently. We’ll have not one, but two vocabulary words on the show and in the final segment the show will just go to the dogs, or dawgs! 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–and we think better–musical era. Just click on the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Having just heard your bio of Basil Fomeen, I don’t know why I had never heard of him. Thanks for smartening me up, Glenn.
Hi, Bill!
Wow! I know I’m doing a good job when I can provide information or records that are new to you! Thanks for taking the time to post. Best wishes.
Howdy Glenn, thanks for the great programmes! I’d like to bring your attention to the January 15th playlist – it’s a carbon copy of the January 22nd playlist (the latter being correct).
Pete
Thanks for listening, Peter, and for letting me know. I am aware of the problem and am working with my web developer to fix this issue, as well as “refresh” the website.
