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?  I know my friend, accordionist Matt Tolentino does! He’s Charles Magnante and he gets his very own birthday salute for the first time on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. His is one of FIVE birthday salutes this week, four of them for the first time. The others are Jay Gorney, Sid Millward, Willie Eckstein and Jack Purvis. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported magically back to a different–and we think better–musical era. But most important…

ENJOY THE SHOW!
