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.

This is our first show of 2011 and I hope your New Year is starting off well, and if I can keep from coughing long enough, on this evening’s show, we’ll celebrate the birthdays of Sam Coslow and Georgia, meet some friends, fall down, and go mad.

Enjoy the show!

Segment 5: Falling Down
It seems that this last week was a bit rough for a few of us, including myself who tripped over a lawn sprinkler and got quite the bump on my forehead, a nice black eye, and a broken right hand, while listener Joe slipped on some ice and got banged up pretty good, but I believe he’ll be OK, too. Hopefully everyone else was a bit more sure of foot, but it’s set up this segments falling theme.
