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 stealing, and celebrate the birthdays of Victor Young, Al Goodman, Gene Buck, and maybe a couple of others.
