Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 15 May 2005

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. On this evening’s show we’re gonna do some buying and selling, celebrate the birthdays of Jack Jenney, Billy Cotton and Red Nichols and listen to this past week in recording history. Enjoy the show! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: CommerceRecently I purchased a replacement monitor amplifier for the studio and when it arrived, I quickly hooked it up with great anticipation. I was let down, however, when once channel began cutting in and out. I was beginning to think I had a third transaction going bad, but to make a fairly long story short, the seller, who could have easily ignored the issue with no consequence to him, did the right thing and paid for repair of the amp. It’s nice to know that there are still people with integrity on e-Bay, so here’s a set of songs about commerce Mindin’ My Bus’ness – New Orleans Jazz Band Selling That Stuff – McKinney’s Cotton Pickers Buy American! – Ted Lewis and His Band/Ted Lewis Segment 2: Jack JennyMay 12 marked the birth in 1910 in Mason City, Iowa of Truman Elliot Jenney, better known as “Jack” Jenney (with thanks to regular listener Jim who pointed out in an e-mail that Jack Jenney’s birthday was coming up).Old Fashioned Love – Red Norvo ah Swing Septet Moonlight on the Ganges – Glenn Miller AHO / Smith Balew That Old Feeling – Dick McDonough AHO / Howard Phillips Segment 3: Red NicholsMay 8 marked the centennial of the birth in Ogden, Utah of Ernest Loring Nichols, better known as “Red” Nichols.
