A Catalina Island GSB! (Giant Sea Bass) RRR 78 RPM Show – January 15, 2023

Edward Llewellyn and 425 Lb. Sea Bass on Catalina Island August, 1903 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. Do you know who this fellow is? He’s trumpeter, cornetist and composer Edward Llewellyn and he is getting a birthday segment for the first time on this week’s show. Turns out, Ed was quite a sportsman, too. He’s shown here on Catalina Island in August of 1903 next to his record-breaking 425 pound black sea bass! The show starts off with a birthday salute to Basil Fomeen who has been featured several times on the show recently. We’ll have not one, but two vocabulary words on the show and in the final segment the show will just go to the dogs, or dawgs!  There’s lots of great music and interesting information, so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era.
