Episode Details

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

On this evening’s show, we’ll do some remembering, give it to you straight from the shoulder, and celebrate a number of birthdays.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 2: Shoulder
In 2003 we had a shoulder segment to help my friend’s speedy recovery after surgery, now in 2011 he’s had his whole shoulder replaced. Speedy recovery Charlie, but please, if you injure yourself again, make it a different body part. There are only so many vintage songs about shoulders, y’know.
