Happy St. Patrick’s Day from RRR #1,235 March 17, 2024

Rapidly Rotating Records

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.

So why is there a bottle of Green River Bourbon on this post instead of a Tin Pan Alley composer or a vaudeville artist or other ’20s or ’30s vocalist, instrumentalist, band orchestra? Well, you’ll find out in the final segment of this week’s special St. Patrick’s Day edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. In other segments, we’ll do some messin’ around and hear some songs about birth and death. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as morbid as it sounds. There’s lots of great music and interesting information, so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be taken back to an earlier–and we think better-musical era. Just click on the player above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience. Best wishes for a pleasant St. Patrick’s Day. Please drink responsibly and NEVER drink and drive!
