The MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING happens courtesy of Starr’s Guitars in Cedaredge, serving the western slope music community for 25 years.
Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs. Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.
Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) and new songs (N) I shared in the show this week.
Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.
