    A “Pup” Edition of RRR # 1,344 April 19, 2026

    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. I’m going to bet that everyone seeing this photograph knows the name of the subject. That’s right! it’s Pete the Pup from the Our Gang / Little Rascals comedies. On this week’s edition of the show, you’ll hear all about Pete as well as three rapidly rotating records about some other pups. There are also three birthday segments this week, for Lou Herscher, Gene Rodemich and Lou Gold. And in the second segment, we’ll play “Jacks.” I’m still trying to play “catch-up” now that we’re back from our little excursion to Tennessee and environs and will post shows as quickly as I possibly can. 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. THANKS FOR LISTENING! ENJOY THE SHOW! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: Pete the Pup Nervous Puppies – Mound City Blue Blowers Pretty Puppy – Missouri Jazz Band (Nathan Glantz) The Piddlin’ Pup – Ben Light and His Surf Club Boys Segment 2: Jacks The Four Jacks – Pietro J.

    A “Tennessee” Edition of RRR # 1,343 April 12, 2026

    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. Here, at last, is the April 12, 2026 edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. I apologize for the delay in posting it, but better late than never. Pictured above is the reason for the delay, a two week visit to visit family in Tennessee. For our last two visits, we stayed within the state, but this time we made a side trip for a couple of days, so this week’s show features segments about some of the states and cities we visited while back here. 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. THANKS FOR LISTENING! ENJOY THE SHOW! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: Tennessee My Sunny Tennessee – The Columbians Dance Orchestra Deluxe I Miss A Little Miss (Who Misses Me In Sunny Tennessee – Frank Crumit Tennessee Lazy – Castle Farm Serenaders (Bill Haid’s Cubs) Segment 2: Nashville Nashville Nightingale – Ray Starita and the Piccadilly Revels Band Nashville Woman’s Blues – Bessie Smith The Nashville Blues – The Delmore Brothers Segment 3: Cincinnati Cincinnati Daddy – Duke Ellington Orchestra George Street Stomp – Cincinnati Jug Band It Takes A Cincinnati Yellow To Satisfy A Georgia Brown – The Dixie Stars Segment 4: Ohio Hi-Hi-Ohio – Frank Crumit Ohio Prison Fire – Carson Robison My Ohio Home – Lillian Morton Segment 5: Kentucky I’m As Blue As The Blue Grass Of Kentucky – Harry Reser’s Syncopators Just A Song Of Old Kentucky – Monroe Brothers Tell All The Folks In Kentucky (I’ll Be There) – Atlantic Dance Orchestra The post A “Tennessee” Edition of RRR # 1,343 April 12, 2026 appeared first on Glenn Robison's Rapidly Rotating 78 RPM Records.
