TRIBUTE TO KEITH TITTERINGTON & HIS 78s ON ROY'S RECORD ROOM




If you've been a regular listener to Triple R Radio over the past couple of years, the name Keith Titterington will be a familiar one to you. In the fall of 2011, Keith made his incredible collection of 78s available for me to share with everyone on Roy's Record Room. Keith was a regular RRR listener and was tickled to hear his records coming over the airwaves. This will be show #18 of an informal and ongoing look at a fine collection of records, gathered over the past fifty-plus years.
 
Keith passed away in early May. I’d like to dedicate Monday's edition of RRR to the memory of a fine fellow, Keith Titterington -  a passionate music collector, researcher and historian. As my friend, Vancouver WS collector, researcher, writer, Dave Schroeder said: If anyone in Western Canada could be called the seminal collector/fan/researcher, Keith would be the one.

So tune in on Monday, May 20th at 6pm for a tribute to Calgary collector Keith Titterington and his 78s on Rooooy's Record Room,  the show that roots around in the past to try and make some sense of the now.

Thanks for the music, Keith.
