December 24, 2012 RRR Show – December 23, 2012
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.

The first KISL Telethon was a big success and a lot of fun. Even though the telethon is over and the phone bank is down, you can still support RRR and KISL through a membership. While most of you are not on Catalina and can't directly benefit from the merchant discounts, as a KISL member, you will be helping to keep commercial-free community radio on the air and keep the station's equipment updated and operating at peak performance. 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. I'm proud to say I hold KISL Premium Membership card # 0001. Won't you please consider joining me as a member of KISL? Click HERE to go to the KISL Membership page for more information and to easily sign up online. THANKS! (And by the way, KISL memberships make excellent Christmas gifts!)
