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 yet another “One Thing In Common” edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. We’ve got 15 great records, which seemingly have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, but actually have one thing in common. You can see the playlist below, but don’t waste any energy trying to figure it out. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the music. I’ll let you know at the end of the show what the common thread it. Per usual, there are at least a couple of records making their RRR debut. If you enjoy the show, please let us know by leaving a comment on the website or the Facebook page or sending an email. And remember, your requests and topic segments are always welcome. As always, just click on the link below to instantly listen streaming online and/or download the show.

Enjoy the show!
