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 blues guitarist Walter Brown McGhee, better known as Brownie McGhee. On last week’s show you heard him credited as Blind Boy Fuller No. 2, but this week he starts off the third segment of the show with a recording under his own name. To start off the show, we’ll celebrate the birthday of Henri Gendron and in other segments, we’ll do some picking, do some bundling and get syncopated. 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.
