Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – March 21, 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. Do you know what the contraption above is? It’s an Ediphone. When Thomas Edison developed the phonograph in 1877, he was trying to make a machine that would record telephone messages and thought the best use of the machine would be for letter writing and dictation without the aid of a stenographer. On this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records you’ll hear some history about the invention and a record about the Ediphone. If you’re a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture show, you’ll especially enjoy the intro to the show and the second segment. In the third segment we’ll do some bouncing and the last segment was inspired by my friend, pianist and composer Sam Post. In the first segment, we’ll fulfill the first of two little requests.   There’s lots of great music and interesting information so…  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!
