CP S20 EP18 + NEW MUSIC & HOT SPINS FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 17

And we’re back … We had our home/offices freshly painted and recarpeted, so we drove to Granby, where Claire got some amazing Milky Way pictures we’ll hopefully share soon. And, I got to visit our friends at KFFR Winter Park … so cool to finely meet those folks.

I will be appearing with my band GOATZ! this Friday, May 22 at Roots Music Project in Boulder. Hope you’ll come out.

I WISH I WAS KIDDING. BUT I’M NOT. Your SUPPORT is ESSENTIAL.

This show has been my passion for 20 years. Over the years it has been mostly self-funded, with some financial help from Starr’s Guitars and a few others here and there. It was enough to cover the cost of operations, but nothing more. Since retiring from full time work, the cost of the show has had a significant impact on my income.

The Colorado Playlist is the only program showcasing Colorado music statewide, broadcast by 12 stations covering 30 FM/LPFM frequencies. I make this show available at NO COST to community radio stations in our state. I’d like to keep it going for another couple of years.

Your support is sincerely appreciated.

Please make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 (preferred) or use the form below (they take a cut). Thank you, sincerely – chrisk

To learn about getting your business heard across thirty FM frequencies and on the Colorado Playlist other assets, please email chriskmusic@gmail.com

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

The Monday Morning Music Meeting happens courtesy of Starr’s Guitars in Cedaredge, serving the western slope music community since 1998.

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year releases. Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive. This is where you come in.

Should I KEEP IT or CUT IT?

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.
