Document:
On this week’s very special edition of Rapidly Rotating Records, we celebrate just one birthday, that of trumpeter and composer Bob Effros, and to help celebrate, joining us is Bob’s granddaughter, Barbara Effros. She affectionately refers to her grandfather as “GBE” for Grandpa Bob Effros, or simply “Grandpa Bob.” You hear him a lot on the show, but generally as a side man without being mentioned. He’s heard in most of the records played this week, and we’ll also play a couple more of Bob’s own compositions. Barbara also joined us last December, and that show is available on the RRR website in the December 2016 archive, or by clicking here. As usual, there are at least a couple of records making their RRR debut. If you enjoy the show, please let us know by leaving a comment on the website or the Facebook page or sending an email. And remember, your requests and topic segments are always welcome. As always, just click on the link below to instantly listen streaming online and/or download the show.
