PLEASE HELP SUPPORT THE COLORADO PLAYLIST

Hi folks. I could use your help, please.

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 make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 OR use 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.

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

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 had three PRE-RELEASE (P) titles in this week’s show – The Burrough‘s new single, Got To Free Your Mind, piKziL‘s newest, Exit Strategy and Christine Alice’s Wood Burning Stove that she originally recorded as a video in 2019, and released on YouTube in 2022.
