Rapidly Rotating Records 78 RPM Show – 25 March 2001

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 evening’s show, were going to hear from Belle Baker and Ozzie Nelson, and we’ll have some songs from Ziegfeld Follies of various years. Enjoy the show! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: Little BirdiesA little birdie told me that this past week, March 19 was St. Joseph’s Day, the day that the swallows traditionally return to the Mission SanJuan Capistrano in California to usher in spring. So here, to commemorate St. Joseph’s Day and the return of the swallows to Capistrano are some birdie songs. A Little Birdie Told Me So – Roger Wolfe Kahn AHO / Johnny Marvin, v. Follow the Swallow – Carl Fenton’s Orchestra / Al Jolson, v. I’ll Build a Nest – Bert Lown AHO Some Little Bird – Coon-Sanders Novelty Orchestra Segment 2: Ozzie NelsonMarch 20 marked the birth in 1907 in Jersey City, New Jersey, of Oswald George Nelson, better known as Ozzie. If I Had a Million Dollars – Ozzie Nelson I Don’t Mind Walking in the Rain – Ozzie Nelson Oh, Suzanna, Dust Off That Old Pianna – Ozzie Nelson Says My Heart – Ozzie Nelson Segment 3: Belle BakerMarch 24 in 1932, radio broadcasting history was made when Belle Baker hosted a radio variety show. What made this broadcast unique was that it originated from a moving Baltimore and Ohio train that chugged its way around the New York area. So here to commemorate that broadcast, are some songs by Belle Baker. My Sin – Belle Baker Hard Hearted Hannah – Belle Baker Cheer Up, Good Times are Coming – Belle Baker Overnight – Belle Baker Segment 4: Ziegfeld FolliesMarch 15 marked the birth in Chicago in 1867 of Florenz Ziegfeld. So here in honor of Florenz Ziegfeld, is a set of songs from The Ziegfeld Follies.
