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 the gentleman is above? He’s bandleader and composer Earl Burtnett, and his is one of four birthdays we’ll be celebrating on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. The others? Henry Lodge, Henry King and Maurice Yvain.   There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era.
