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 pianist, vocalist and composer Ed Smalle. His is just one of three birthday salutes on this week’s show, the others being Charlie Kisco and Glenn Rowell. In other segments, we’ll play some things, and to fulfill a request, we’ll hear from Collins & Harlan. 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. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.

November 3, 2024 show: Talk about a show of extremes! I hated the Collins and Harlan segment, loved the Rowell/Ford and Glenn segment, and liked everything else. Although I don’t particularly like the Arnheim recording you played, I generally love Arnheim and Loyce Whiteman, who is one of my favorite singers (her ex-husband Harris Barris is also one of my favorite composers); please play as much of them as you can (particularly anything you can find that wasn’t generally released, because I think that I own most of the Arnheim and Whiteman recordings that were released.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
