Rapidly Rotating Records 78RPM Show – March 13, 2016

Not that we don't play them every week, but on this week's show, we're going to play some "terrific" songs. We'll also celebrate International Women's Day with what else but some songs about women. And we'll celebrate the birthdays of Bix Beiderbecke, Peter DeRose and Walter Hirsch, all of whom share a March 10 birthday.  And a number of records on this week's show are making their Rapidly Rotating Records debut.
