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 a young Jimmie Revard, member of the Osage Nation and his is one of five birthdays we’ll be celebrating on this week’s “all-birthday” edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. I’m guess this photograph was taken before Jimmie put together his first western swing band while a student at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas. You’ll find out more about Jimmie and hear three of his recordings in the second segment of the show. The other birthday segments this week are for Rosa Henderson, Percy Chandler, Ray Herbeck and George Wilton Ballard. 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.
