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’ve got four sets of rapidly rotating records based on some of what we played last week and we’ll listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Shores
Last week, in connection with Ray Henderson’s birthday, I played “Bam Bam Bamy Shore” by Ted Lewis. So, I thought I’d play some rapidly rotating records about some other shores.

Swanee Shore – Ben Bernie
On the Shores of Avalon – Sam Lanin AHO
I Left Her on the Shores of Minnetonka – Wigwam Dance Orch.

Segment 2: Syncopated
Last week’s show featured songs by Dana Suesse, and I mentioned her 1928 composition “Syncopated Love Song”, which, with lyrics by Leo Robin, became the hit “Have You Forgotten”. Well, here’s a set of syncopated songs

Syncopated Jamboree – Roy Carlson’s D O (Adrian Schubert) / Irving Kaufman, v.
Down Home Syncopated Blues – Geo. E. Lee and His Novelty Singing Orch
Syncopated Shuffle – Harlem Footwarmers
Syncopate Your Sins Away – Chick Bullock’s Levee Loungers

Segment 3: Forgotten
I just mentioned the Dana Suesse song “Have You Forgotten”. I’m not going to play that, but I do have a set of other “forgotten” songs.

Why Have You Forgotten Waikiki? – Ben Selvin / Eddie Walters, v.
It’s All Forgotten Now – Ray Noble AHO / Al Bowlly, v.
hat Never-To-Be-Forgotten Night – Fats Waller and His Rhythm / Fats Waller, v.

Segment 4: Gee
Last week I played “Oh, Gee! Say, Gee! You Ought To See My Gee Gee From The Fiji Isle” by Billy Murray, and I thought “Gee. I wonder what other songs there are that have “gee” in the title. Well, there are at least four, and here they are.

Oh, Gee, Oh Joy – Johnny Johnson and His Statler Pennsylvanians
Gee, But I’d Like To Make You Happy – Lloyd Huntley and his Isle o’ Blues Orch / Unidentified, v.
Gee, It Must Be Love – Ray Starita and His Ambassadors Orch.
