Wilton Crawley’s Birthday RRR #1,201 23 July 2023

Hokey Pokey Diddle Dee Rum – Wendell Hall

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.

In the fourth segment of the show you’ll hear the record above as part of a “nonsense title” segment. Clarinetist and composer Wilton Crawley gets his own birthday segment for the first time to start off the show. In other segments, we’ll spend some time in jail, look to the future and cut a rug. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry, all will be revealed. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Click on the player above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
