Here’s this week’s MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING comes courtesy of Starr’s Guitars in Cedaredge.

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) 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.

I’m mostly retired now and the costs of producing the show, tracking airplay and maintaining the site are really starting to eat into my monthly retirement income.

Please support by using Venmo at chrisk-2 OR the form at the bottom of this page (I prefer Venmo).

If you represent a business that would like my listeners to know about you, email me at coloradoplaylist@gmail.com for details.

CP SOME OF THE BEST OF 2024

Well here we are – on the outbound train to the next new year. As usual, I found it nearly impossible to actually present a “best of” show, so I once again present “some of the best of 2024.”
