A "Beautiful" Edition of RRR # 1,356 July 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.

Do you know who this fellow is? He's composer, arranger and pianist Percy Grainger and his birthday segment starts off this week's edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. But we also have two other birthday salutes this week for Phil Cardew and Willard Hodgin. We'll also visit some wigwams and hear both some beautiful TUNES and some BEAUTIFUL tunes. 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!
