On this week's brand new edition of RRR, we're gonna hear from some ragamuffins, wield a hammer, do battle, build a love nest, and play some unfortunate songs.  My favorite record this week is "Jazz Battle" by Jabbo Smith's Rhythm Aces, but there are a number of interesting & "out of the ordinary" records besides a few good ol' dance dance band fox trots. And, the Anglo-Persians are back for an encore!    As always, just click on the link below to instantly listen streaming online and/or download the show. And  your comments, requests and topic suggestions are encouraged. RRR may be up against the Super Bowl today, but you pretty much have to watch it in real time and once it's over, it's over. Rapidly Rotating Records is available streaming online anytime, and you can enjoy it over and over again.

I was planning to bring you a brand new Christmas show this week, with all new records, but a severe case of the flu prevented that. The Christmas show linked below is from 2007 and has been repeated a number of times before, but I’ve posted it again in case you haven’t heard it, or you’d like to hear it yet again. Fortunately, the ailment has passed to the point where I can enjoy tomorrow with the family and will have a new show on 30 December. And there *will* be an all new Christmas show next year.

Thank you all for listening over the past year, and for your comments, requests and expressions of support and encouragement. I sincerely appreciate the feedback. Thanks especially to those of you who have become members of KISL.

Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas filled with quality time spent with family and friends.

A one-year individual membership is onlyl $20 and a premium membership is just $50 and comes with a free, space available, Santa Catalina Island Company tour, including the zip line, an $80 value just on its own!  As you may know, my show is a labor of love for the music I play. I don't get paid for doing it, nor are its expenses supported or underwritten in any way, other than by me personally.
