CP S20 EP28 2026 – MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING – CUT IT OR KEEP IT + THIS WEEK ON YOUTUBE

AIRDATES: JULY 25-31 2026
THIS WEEK ON YOUTUBE: Recorded live on stage, in the studio or in a van … The Motet, The Crooked Rugs, Rob Drabkin, Wildermiss, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Gasoline Lollipops, Andy Frasco & the U.N.

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

The Monday Morning Music Meeting happens courtesy of Starr’s Guitars in Cedaredge, serving the western slope music community since 1998.

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year releases. Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive. This is where you come in.

Should I KEEP IT or CUT IT?

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.

Your SUPPORT is ESSENTIAL, AND GENUINELY APPRECIATED.

This show has been my passion for 20 years. Over the years it has been mostly self-funded, with some financial help from  Starr’s Guitars and a few others here and there. It was enough to cover the cost of operations, but nothing more. Since retiring from full time work, the cost of the show has had a significant impact on my income.

The Colorado Playlist  is the only program showcasing Colorado music statewide, broadcast by 12 stations covering 30 FM/LPFM frequencies. I make this show available at NO COST to community radio stations in our state. I’d like to keep it going for another couple of years.

North Clear Creek Falls, Rio Grande Nat’l Forest

Due to the JULY 4th holiday, there is NO HOT SPINS this week. And there may not be one next week. Claire and I are going on a photo/fishing trip up to the Walden area .. so we’ll see what we see. It’s been a minute or decade or two since I’ve traveled up that way in the state. Have a great week and enjoy the show.

I did something a bit different this week, as I celebrated 50 years since the year Colorado became known as the Centennial State and the Colorado Music Hall of Fame inducted of a NON-Colorado band, but one that owns an historical record in Colorado music history.

I WISH I WAS KIDDING. UNFORTUNATELY, I’M NOT. Your SUPPORT is ESSENTIAL.

This show has been my passion for 20 years. Over the years it has been mostly self-funded, with some financial help from Starr’s Guitars and a few others here and there.
