A “Tricky” Edition of RRR # 1,331 January 18, 2026

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. You’ve probably already figured out from the poster above that one of the segments on this week’s Rapidly Rotating Records is songs from Benny Goodman’s historic Carnegie Hall Concert of January 16, 1938. But that’s not the only thing that happened on January 16th in history. You’ll find out another in the second segment of the show, about Prohibition. In other segments, we’ll celebrate James Monaco’s birthday, resort to some trickery and have a vocabulary lesson. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience. THANKS FOR LISTENING! ENJOY THE SHOW!
