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 bandleader Jimmy Joy. Well, that’s not his real name, but you’ll find out his real name and hear three of his recordings in the first segment of this week’s show. We also have birthday segments for Little Brother Montgomery and Shaun O’Nolan. In the fourth segment you’ll hear about pizza and pipes and in the final segment we’ll take some musical steamboat excursions. 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.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
