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.

A whole lot of vintage music personalities had birthdays this past week, including Harry Tobias, Gus Arnheim, James C. Johnson, Chick Bullock, Mae Questel, Maurice Chevalier, Shep Fields and William McKinney, but we won’t be spotlighting any of those this week because we’ve got a number of requests to fill.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Mountains
The first segment of this week’s show, however, is for my friend of the past 16 or so years, Brad, who died recently, along with his baby daughter Lindsey, in a tragic car crash. Brad was known to his buddies as “Rockhound”, and his passion in life, next to his family, was climbing. So Brad and Lindsey – and everyone else for that matter – get all crouched down and ready to climb as we all go up up up the mountain.

We All Went Up Up Up The Mountain – George Jackley
Mountain Greenery – Frank Crumit
Climbing Up The Ladder Of Love – Ted Weems AHO / Dusty Rhodes
Shepherd Of The Hills – Jack Hylton and His Orchestra / Jack Hylton, v.

Segment 2: Requests for Alvin
Listener Alvin with a request for three songs, and I’m happy to report that I have all three.

Goblin Market – Joe Haymes AHO
It’s About Time – Joe Haymes AHO / Larry Murphy, v.
Got No Time – The Little Rambers

Segment 3: Sally
Listener Ron in Long Beach wrote asking not for any specific songs, but for a set of songs for “Sally”.

Sally of My Dreams – Earl Burtnett and His LA Biltmore Hotel Orch.
Blue Eyed Sally – Vick Myers’ Atlanta Melody Artists
I’m Sorry, Sally – Danny Altier AHO / Frank Sylvano, v.

Segment 4: The Same
Listener Dan wrote in to request a couple of specific records, unfortunately, only one of which I have, but it set the tone for a segment we’re it’s all the same.

We’ll Be The Same – Victor Arden – Phil Ohman and Their Orch. / Frank Luther, v.
I’ll Never Be The Same – Carroll Gibbons and His Boyfriends, Anne Lenner, v.
Just the Same – Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Orchestra

Segment 5: Bluebird
Listener Dan also requested “Bluebird Sing Me A Song” by Abe Lyman’s California Ambassador Hotel Orchestra. Unfortunately, I don’t have that record. I wish I did, ‘cause it’s a good one. But the next best thing would be to play some other nice records about bluebirds.
