Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – February 20, 2022

Among My Souvenirs - The Revelers

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.

Among the records on this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records is the one above, “Among My Souvenirs” by the male vocal close harmony group The Revelers. In fact, it starts off the show in a segment honoring Lawrence Wright, who used the pseudonym Horatio Nicholls when composing. There are two other birthday segments this week, for Jolly Jack Robel and cornetist Johnny Dunn. We’ll also play “One Thing in Common” and play some records for no particular reason.   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.

ENJOY THE SHOW!
