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 listen to some rags, fulfill some requests, and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Rag
Scott Joplin’s date of birth is often cited as November 24, 1868 yet according to the Scott Joplin International Ragtime Foundation, that date is not correct, and we don’t really know exactly when or where Joplin was born. But let’s celebrate Joplin’s birthday with some rags anyway.

Maple Leaf Rag – Halfway House Orchestra
Kater Street Rag – Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra
Bugle Call Rag – Abe Lyman
Cannon Ball Rag – Ben Bernie

Segment 2: Rainbows
For no particular reason, here’s a set of rapidly rotating records about rainbows.

Pretty Little Rainbow – Wewidoeft / George Hamilton Green
Reach Out For A Rainbow – Earl Burtnett
The Rainbow Man – The Rounder (Reser) / Smith Ballew, v.
