A GOAT Edition of RRR # 1,259 September 1, 2024

Phil Baker

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 accordionist and comedian Phil Baker and his is one of two birthdays we’ll be celebrating on this week’s show. The other is Ernie Golden. In other segments, we’ll show out humanity, hear some song about capra aegagrus hircus and we’ll DO SOMETHING! 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.
