Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – April 18, 2021

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 week’s edition of the show we’re going to celebrate not one, but four birthdays. One of those is for Harry J. Lincoln, composer of “The Midnight Fire Alarm,” the sheet music to which is pictured above.  And the recording of “The Midnight Fire Alarm” we’re playing, by Prince’s Orchestra, is every bit as raucous and exciting as the cover illustration would suggest.  We’ll also celebrate the birthdays of Arthur Lange, Gene Rodemich and Lou Gold. And we’ll take a musical trip to Calico Ghost Town. There’s lots of great music and interesting information, so set aside an hour to relax over your favorite beverage and be taken back in time to a different musical era.  ENJOY THE SHOW! I hope you are all safe and healthy and doing as well as you can be given the current world situation and stay-at-home orders and that this hour of music gives you a bit of diversion and entertainment. Thanks for listening and best wishes! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: Arthur Lange Tickle Me – Arthur Lange AHO You – Arthur Lange AHOOh!
