Okay … it’s Monday afternoon. Too much fun in the sun and too many morning appointments to get this done this morning. The weekend was a blast. I’ll try to find time to get some vid up but really I need to focus on month end stuff now. I do, however, have some tasty footage from the Finnders & Youngberg show on Thursday night in Old Town Fort Collins.
OH … this just in … I will have an advance of the new Richie Furay record in time for the July 12th show.

I realize it isn’t about Colorado music, but as I get my day going today (Sunday) while the show airs on Radio 94.9 Colorado, I’m learning that one of my radio idols has passed away. RIP Casey Kasem. 82 is a long life lived. Thank you for your inspiration. I miss you. Long live American Top 40. Salute. “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”
My first video editing learning curve mistake bit me, as I worked to edit down the Young Ancients video shots I took Thursday night. #bigfail. I lost everything, including the source video. Too bad too, as I told John Magnie that in all the years I’ve known him, Steve, and Cary this was the best night of music I’d ever heard from them. And I mean it. If you have not experienced Young Ancients, you really deserve the treat. Absolutely remarkable.
