Special 2-Hour 18th Anniversary Rapidly Rotating Records Show!

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. For those of you who were unable to tune in over the air or listen streaming online to the recent special 2 hour, live, 18th anniversary show, the plan was to record the show and post it so you could vicariously share in the fun. Unfortunately, due to operator error, no doubt on my part, the show didn’t record. However, all is not lost. I have recreated the anniversary show and it’s now available for streaming online and/or download. Because the show is over two hours in length, I’ve split it into two parts. In the first part of the show I pose a question to the audience and ask you to please let me know your opinion. You can leave a comment here on the website, on the Facebook page, or by sending an email to [email protected].   And remember, your requests and topic segments are always welcome. As always, just click on the link below to instantly listen streaming online and/or download the show.    Enjoy the show!
