Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 3 February 2019

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. The violin is ranked as the most difficult musical instrument to play, with the harp, theatre pipe organ, French horn, and bagpipes close behind. But there’s one musical instrument that just about everyone can play, and in fact master, without lessons or practice. And we’ll celebrate that instrument in the second segment of the show. We’ll also double down with double segments of “double” songs. We’ll celebrate the birthday of James P. Johnson and have a howling good time! Enjoy the show!
