The Colorado Sound S7 EP35 SPT/OCT 2013

chris boni vip 2013Sunday Sept 29, 2013:  In two days from now I’m supposed to be publishing my monthly News Notes and Spins column.  I haven’t even begun to put it together.  So, given that I have to leave to do sound today at 4:30PM (Oskar Blues Longmont), and it’s 10:20 as I type this I think I’d better get my ass to work and pull some data. OH — and the Broncos play at 2:25PM … yeah .. it’s gonna be a tough slog to get the column done on time LOL.

support_this_station_125x125Real quick …. if you have not checked it out yet I do hope you will … The Colorado Sound Live365 is where you can listen to Colorado music 24/7 … it’s music based, not information based like the weekly show heard on KRFC (Fort Collins), Radio 94.9 (Loveland/Fort Collins), KWMW (Westcliffe), KOTO (Telluride), or KDNK (Carbondale/Glenwood Springs/Aspen).  The station has been on the air since April 1.  In September we’ve averaged less than 8 streams a day, unlike this blog that averages 52 unique page views a day.. and unlike the terrestrial station based show that averages well over a thousand listeners a week.  I could sure use some help keeping the station on the air, and growing the online listenership.  Please?  Share the stations with friends … put a link on your website so folks know where to hear CO music daily … anything you can do to help. And if you’re a business – yes, I accept advertising.    

Please consider making a donation to the cause – every dollar matters – seriously. This one has been coming out of my pocket.    

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK:  Dennis Wanebo is one of our region’s most enigmatic and disturbingly unknown singer songwriters.  A nearly fatal disease several years ago prompted Dennis to retire from his lucrative law career and focus on his music.  Dude’s music blows me away – but then we’re both a couple of old guys with a penchant for nostalgic themes in our music. 😉 j/s

The Colorado Sound S7 EP34 SEPT 2013

Not a lot of time to hang out and write today.  Fortober Fest 2013 was a blast.  Thanks to The Fort Collins Downtown Business Association for inviting me to be a part of things this year.  What a fun season.  Thanks to the Railbenders, Jeff Brinkman, 12 Cents for Marvin and the other 12 bands that made the 2nd season of the festival so much fun.  The DBA donated 10% of profits and 100% of tips to flood relief – thank you executive director Michael Short and asst e.d. Peggy Lyle … much love you guys.

Today I’m off to host BIODIESEL FOR BANDS FIRST ANNUAL MEMBER MEETING AND PARTY with Mama Lenny & the Remedy and Carlton Pride & Mighty Zion. http://www.biodieselforbands.org/ for more information.

Good news since last week.  Oskar Blues Lyons survived the horrific damages in Lyons.  Of course, the not so good news that also came out is that it will take 2-6 months before the city of Lyons gets back up.  In the meantime, the only people allowed to stay are those who are completely self sufficient.
