That's the number of years that Rapidly Rotating Records has been broadcast on KISL.  We started back in late July of 2000 and have been here ever since.  For the past 12 years, I've been able to find enough "numerical" songs associated with that years' anniversary for at least one segment.  But darned if I could find and "thirteen" songs. So this week we've got songs about puppies, we'll take a musical trip to Detroit, fulfill some requests, fix breakfast and hear from some "Lynn"s.  Just click on the link below to instantly listen streaming online and/or download the show.

Last week's Transom Radio Story Workshop was a huge success, as you heard if you tuned in for the listening party on Friday evening. If you weren't able to catch it, I'm sure it will be archived on kislavalon.com and I will see about the possibility of posting it here on the RRR website. This evening's show winds up with one last song about radio with best wishes to all 10 producers on their future stories. Before that, however, we're going to go on a picnic, do the rhumba, get close, have some rays of sunshine and be a bee. As always, simply click on the link below to instantly stream and/or download the show.  And your comments, requests and topic suggestions are always welcome.
