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 fulfill some requests, test our luck, and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Lucky
I am just back from a business conference in Las Vegas, and I did manage to test my luck while there, so here’s a set of rapidly rotating records about luck.

Every Day’s a Lucky Day – Kinsman and his Band / Tom Barratt, v.
Lady Luck – Ted Lewis
Lucky Little Devil – Jack Albin’s Hotel Pennsylvania Music

Segment 2: Peachy
Longtime faithful listener Richard sent an email last week requesting Fred Waring’s recording of “Little Peach”. Unfortunately, I don’t have that record, but as part of a set of peachy songs, I am happy to play the one version of “Little Peach” that I do have.

Little Peach – Jack Stillman’s Orchestra
When You’ve Picked Your Basket of Peaches / Six Times Six Is Thirty-six – Joseph C. Smith’s Orchestra
Peach Pickin’ Time In Georgia – Jimmie Rodgers

Segment 3: Persian
I received a nice email last week from listener Aaron in the UK asking if I knew of any other recordings of “My Persian Rosebud” by Ray Starita. Actually, there are lots of them, but we’ll have a Persian influenced segment with just one:

My Persian Rosebud – Leslie Norman and His Carlton Hotel Band / Chick Endor, v.
Persian Slave – Jock McDermott and His New Carlton Players / Unidentified v.
Persian Rug – Herman Kenin’s Multnomah Hotel Orch

Segment 4: Requests
Longtime faithful listener Len in up in Washington state sent a nice email last week requesting 3 records by Fred Waring and he even named a 4th as a backup. Sorry, Len, but even with the backup, I’m afraid I’m only gonna be batting 500.

Won’t You Tell Me Hon – Fred Waring ah Pennsylvanian
Lila – Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians
Stumbling – Bennie Kreuger’s Orchestra
