MONDAY SEPT 04, 2023 – HAPPY LABOR DAY. Women’s voices take over the Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM) this week with new releases from Esme Patterson, Wildermiss, The Motet and Bonnie & Taylor Sims.

To say it takes a lot to get me out – and to drive almost ninety minutes for an event – is an understatement. It has to be something pretty special. That’s the big takeaway from the 6th Annual 53:14 Music Video Experiment that took place Friday night in Fort Collins. 10 bands, 10 filmmakers, a $1000 budget and 53 hours 14 minutes to produce a music video. You can find past videos on the website. Look for new videos here when they get released.

September is travel month for me and Claire. Here’s the show schedule for the month.

KSJD Cortez CO

August 15, 2023 – ON THE ROAD AGAIN! Visiting Cortez/Mesa Verde. In my travels and life, people often tell me they don’t listen to radio because there are too many commercials and playlists are too limited. Unfortunately, these very people don’t turn to the plethora of non-profit non-commercial radio stations in our state.

The Colorado Playlist is fortunate to be aired throughout the state on a network of non commercial community based public radio stations. For the time being, it is not being aired on KSDJ Cortez – while they look for a new time slot to air it. IN the meantime, check the stations and times page for where and when you can hear it.

Dragondeer debuts in the TOP 5 and Daniel Rodriguez re-enters the TOP 5 below.
