A “Junk” Edition of RRR # 1,266 October 20, 2024

Marion Sunshine

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 his lovely lady is? She’s Marion Sunshine who wrote the lyrics to “A Penny For Your Thoughts.” That song finished up the third segment of this week’s show, having to do with pennies. In other segments, we’ll satisfy our sweet tooth with some candy and have a vocabulary lesson. We’ll also take a walk in the woods and sing like a canary. 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.
