Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – April 4, 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. I’m baaaaaack! I certainly hope you enjoyed last week’s April Fool’s show with my friend and host of the vintage music program The Shellac Stack, Bryan Wright and I swapping personas. We had a great time “hosting” each others’ show so to speak and I hope you quickly got the joke and were able to enjoy the music without trying to figure out what the heck was going on. And in case you haven’t heard it, you can hear me hosting Bryan’s show on his website, www.shellacstack.com. It’s program number 219, but don’t stop there. As on the Rapidly Rotating Records website, all of Bryan’s previous shows are also available for listening online and/or downloading for listening at your convenience. This week, we’re back to normal here on RRR with our usual unusual mélange of dance bands, hot bands, sweet bands, show tunes, novelty tunes, blues, jazz and more on everything from Aeolian to Zonophone, and by everyone from Aaronson to Zurke. On this week’s show everything’s going to be all right! This being the first program in April, we’ve got a couple of songs about April. We’ll also celebrate Marion Harris’s birthday, have a vocabulary lesson and in the fourth segment, I’ll introduce you to Beatrice Harrison, the lady in the photograph above. 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!
