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.

Although listeners to this show might not believe it, I’m generally known as a pauciloquent person. Pauciloquent is a rare, archaic word meaning “uttering few words, or speaking briefly”. So, this evening’s show features rapidly rotating records of few words, at least in their titles.

Enjoy the show!
