​Good Morning Everyone!

This Thursday, Feb 28th, we leave for Florida!  

Picture
We'll be gone for 2 months for a little "fun in the sun".  Or, shall I say, "lots" of fun in the sun. 

We're short on time so I had to cut back on today's Turntable.  We do have some great stuff coming though.  Dale is working on his Gulliver's Travels, trip to Mexico. It will be released on March 11th.  Believe me, it's well worth the wait!!  

If you haven't read Skip's latest release "Two Kayaks from King Island"  you're missing the boat!!! (or Kayak)  Check it out.  


In the meantime Joan and I are hoping to slip through the midwest (St. Louis, Nashville and Atlanta) between storms.  That, of course, depends on getting out of our driveway!  The next Turntable will be coming to you from sunny Florida!

​HOWDY FOLKS!!!

​                        Happy Valentine's Day!

Thought this card was especially appropriate since most everyone in the club is experiencing cold weather (except JL)  

Interestingly our website statistics show an aberration that is puzzling.  There seems to be an unusual level of interest in our 10/12/2015 Turntable.  I took a look at it and really liked the selections.  Today is a copy of that release - (for the most part).

Since this week will be a bit nostalgic, I decided to copy the "flipSide" published on 10/12/2015 too!    Back then the flipSide was promoting "Oh Brother where art thou".  Lots of fun!  Hope you like it!

​Keep this in mind as you prepare your taxes.  I have, however, checked and authorities will allow prisoners to receive the Turntable while incarcerated!  COOL!  Don't ya think?
