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 a special Father’s Day show, featuring rapidly rotating records about fathers, papas, daddies and grampas, but we’ll also have our regular “This Week in Recording History” segment.

Segment 3: Daddies
Another synonym for father is daddy, which, in vintage record titles can have somewhat less than wholesome, family oriented connotations. I had to dig a little, but I managed to find a few G rated songs about daddies.

Daddy And Home – Jimmie Rodgers
My Daddy’s Dream-Time Lullaby – Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orch
