I realize it isn’t about Colorado music, but as I get my day going today (Sunday) while the show airs on Radio 94.9 Colorado, I’m learning that one of my radio idols has passed away. RIP Casey Kasem. 82 is a long life lived. Thank you for your inspiration. I miss you. Long live American Top 40. Salute. “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”

Too bad too, as I told John Magnie that in all the years I’ve known him, Steve, and Cary this was the best night of music I’d ever heard from them. And I mean it. If you have not experienced Young Ancients, you really deserve the treat. Absolutely remarkable.
COMING IN JULY: The Colorado Sound Expands Statewide. KUNC, the nation’s TOP 20 ranked public radio station, has picked up hour 2 of The Colorado Sound, bringing the show into Denver, Boulder, and many other cities and towns in CO.
We’ve been working on this opportunity for a long time now, and I would like to personally thank program director Kirk Mowers, music director Benji McPhail and my pal Robert Leja for their never ending support of the show, and my efforts to bring Colorado’s best music to a statewide audience.
