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.

We’re going to go to some lengths on this evening’s show and we’ll celebrate Ted Koehler’s birthday, go to the beach, dream some dreams, and listen to this past week in recording history.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 4: Measurement

How Long Blues – Count Basie (Piano)
