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 multi-instrumentalist, bandleader and composer, Charles Dornberger and he’s getting a birthday segment on this week’s show. In other segments, we’ll run some numbers, we’ll hear some more from Sharp, Hinman and Sharp, celebrate Alex Gerber’s birthday and play “One Thing in Common.” There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
