S8 EP27 July 2014 + Q1/Q2 TOP 30

I hope you got a chance this weekend to check out the Colorado radio debut of the new Richie Furay single “We Were the Dreamers” from his upcoming album “Hand in Hand,” along with the debut of the show statewide on KUNC.  My wife was so excited, she recorded a video of the debut of the show on the radio on her iPhone while we were on our way to get ice cream, without me even noticing  LOL.

I also hope you got the chance to go out and see some live music this weekend.  Here’s a recap of this past weekend in Fort Collins – shows courtesy of the Fort Collins Downtown Business Association, and the Bohemian Foundation.
