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 Herman Waldman, leader of the Dallas, Texas based territory band, Herman Waldman and His Orchestra. He’s getting his own birthday segment for the first time on this week’s show, along with Frank Weldon and  Allister Wylie.  You’ll hear some fine examples of their work from each of them, and there are several records being heard for the first time on the show. In other segments we’ll get greasy and hear some songs about “old folks.”  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. Just click the link above to instantly listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
