Welcome to "Rapidly Rotating Records", Glenn Robison's weekly, one-hour radio program of "toe-tapping music from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and 30s", broadcast Sunday evening at 6:00 PM over KISL FM 88.7 Avalon.
This week's show was originally broadcast on May 30, 2008, but if you haven't heard it before, "it's new to you", and even if you did hear it, that was five years ago and it deserves to be heard again! We celebrate the birthdays of Paul Specht, Sidney Arodin, Paul Whiteman and Hel Kemp, and listen to this past week in recording history. As always, just click on the link below to instantly listen streaming online and/or download the show. And of course, your comments, requests and topic suggestions are always welcome and easily posted to the site.
I don't know about a favorite record, but my favorite band name this week has got to be "Jones and Collins Astoria Hot Eight"! What's your favorite record or band this week?

THANKS FOR LISTENING!
Surely Johnny Morris was also the lead singer in the vocal group for “That’s What I Call Sweet Music” in the Paul Specht sequence. Morris’s distinctive, slightly nasal, singing timbre is readily spotted. He also played drums for Specht.
Fav’s gotta be “Hot Feet” this week. Never tire of that one.

Cheers for Paul Specht, who lived and died in my area.
