Rapidly Rotating Records Show – July 2, 2017

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can't *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and'30s. 

This week it's a special 4th of July edition of the show. Each segment will focus on something associated with our Independence Day celebrations such as marches, parades, picnics and Yankee Doodle. The final segment is all about the reason for the holiday, America. Several records on this week's show are making their RRR debut, so let us know which is your favorite.
