Johnson, Ralfini, Ash & More! – RRR 12 March 2023

Freddy Johnson 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 the fellow playing piano in the photo above is? He’s pianist and singer Freddy Johnson and he starts off this week’s show with his first birthday salute. Freddy isn’t the only one getting a birthday salute this week.  In the second segment you’ll hear three records from Jan Ralfini and His Band and in the final segment, Paul Ash gets his own segment for the first time.  We’ll also have a segment of songs about nothing and a segment about some different kinds of girls. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to an earlier–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to instantly listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.           THANKS FOR LISTENING!ENJOY THE SHOW!
