from Rapidly Rotating Records · host Glenn Robison
Judge Cliff Davis 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 not a bandleader or composer or even a singer. He’s Memphis, Tennessee Judge Cliff Davis and Harry Philwin, known as The Memphis Singer, wrote a song about him. You’ll hear it in the first segment of this week’s edition of the show, a birthday salute to Philwin. Two others will be having their own birthday segments this week, Charles L. Bates and saxophonist Loren McMurray. We’ll also have a vocabulary lesson and another installment of “One Thing in Common” where we play a set of rapidly rotating records which seemingly have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, yet have, “one thing in common.” 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.
