Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – May 9, 2021
from Rapidly Rotating Records · host Glenn Robison
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 who this fellow is? He’s Theron Eugene Daffan, better known as Ted. While you may not recognize his name, you’ve no doubt heard at least one of his compositions, “Born To Lose,” written in the 1940s and covered by more than 120 artists since, most famously by Ray Charles. In the first segment of this week’s edition of Rapidly Rotating Records, you’ll hear a 1941 recording by Ted Daffan’s Texans having to do with ecdysiasts. The second segment of this week’s show features three records about malus domestica, or more commonly, apples. In the third segment we’ll play dumb and then dance the polka courtesy of “Whoopee John” Wilfarht. We’ll wrap up the show with three songs for Mother’s Day, and you’ll probably want to have a tissue handy for the first two. 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! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: Ecdysiast Strip Polka – Kay Kyser AHO / Jack Martin, v.Strip Tease – The Hip ChicksStrip Tease Swing – Ted Daffan’s Texans Segment 2: Malus Domestica You’ll Be Mine In Apple Blossom Time – The Rhythmic Troubadours (Stan Greening) / Joe Sargent, v.The Big Apple – Nat Gonella and His Georgians / Nat Gonella, v.
