Rapidly Rotating Records Show – January 8, 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. 

Do you remember Tim Meadows' recurring bit in the late 90s on Saturday Night Live called "The Ladies' Man"? Well, on this week's show we've got a segment of songs about…ladies! We'll also celebrate the birthdays of James Meton, Art Gillham and some others and hear from The Foursome male vocal close harmony quartet.
