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.

(Sunday, June 22) A very typical summer weekend for me. Lots of great music, mostly outdoors. Sorry no video or pics this week. Never even thought to take the camera out to be honest.
Saturday I was in Denver at 7AM for the Westword Music Showcase. I mixed at RoosterCat … an incredibly interesting day of sounds (not all of which can be considered music by any stretch of anyone’s imagination).
COMING IN JULY = The Colorado Sound coming to Denver/Boulder via KUNC. Day and time details will be announced week of July 7th at www.kunc.org Debuting in conjunction with KUNC’s debut => “Offstage …Beyond the Music with Chris K.” 1st up = my very incredible friend Chris Daniels. First cuts are done. There will definitely be two parts to this episode, and maybe three. Chris had a lot to say, and a lot of stories to tell.

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.
