I've been on the air in Colorado since 1978. The Colorado Playlist is broadcast on 30 FM frequencies in the state. I am also a musician, talent buyer and business consultant. Email me at coloradoplaylist@gmail.com
okay, so I have over 2500 FB friends – I know not all are my friends … I get over 1400 unique visitor views a month on the blog. I just launched The Colorado Sound Radio.
For now, while I’m learning how to use it, program it, do live stuff etc, I’ve put up a number of unique playlists bridged with the state TOP 40 from the April 1 charts.
9AM-10AM = Skirts and Jeans – Colorado’s Ladies Sing Rock, Pop, Country, Blues, Funk and more.
11AM-12PM = Colorado Country
1PM-2PM = Blues from the Hills and Plains
3PM-4PM = 20th Century Colorado… classics and oldies 1960-1999
6PM-7PM = Colorado Jazz
8PM-9PM = Funkin Nugz
10PM-11:30PM = Just A Bit of an Edge
This is my life you guys. I don’t do anything else but work with and promote what’s going on here in CO. In order for the station to be viable, I need to hit 500 unique listeners. VIP listeners help contribute to the cost of running the station. I know we won’t hit 500 overnight, but I know that with a little help from you it will get there. Pls share this station. Pls consider becoming a VIP listener.
Making some tweaks … first up .. every day @5PM Colorado Jazz – one hour of some of the top current jazz titles in my collection: Currently featuring: Aakash Mittal, Chris Malley and Bob Schlesinger, Jon Wirtz, Leslie Brown, Matt Skellenger, gogoLab and more … one hour every night 5PM-6PM (MNT)
Next up = 20th Century Colorado – 2 hours of golden oldies and classics from the vault .. everyday 3PM-5PM
Some great new music broke on this week’s show – including the first single from Rob Drabkin‘s upcoming 2nd full length due out in June … and a debut by Durango resident Thom Chacon that features Bob Dylan’s legendary rhythm section. Also shared this week, another cut from the new Paper Bird album, “Rooms.”
In News & Notes, April is Public Radio Music Month. Please text, msg, email, call your local public radio station and thank them for supporting Colorado Music. Two major Colorado music events to post about … FoCoMX on April 19 and 20 … and the Upper Colfax Root 40 Music Festival and Expo, April 22-28. I’ve been invited to speak on two panels during those events, on April 20, and April 22.
I did not come across a new video this week. I have been, however, enamored of SHEL’s re-imagination of the Led Zepplin classic “Battle of Evermore” … and happened on a video of the girls performing it about two years ago …
