MONDAY OCT 02, 2023 — Autumn is my most favorite time of year. September into mid October is when Claire and I most enjoy our long drives through the west. We’ve made it a habit now to rotate in-state and out of state drives. This year, we stayed home except for a day-trip or two to see the fall colors here in Colorado. The colors this year are fantastic, as is the music from our state.
I’m not posting a weekly TOP five this morning… watch for the September TOP 20 later.
In about a month, NOV 6, I will be receiving the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award from 105.5 The Colorado Sound (KJAC Greeley). As a part of that, a couple of weeks ago Adam Perry interviewed me for his Mile High Stash podcast – where he asks “what five albums would you take to a remoted Colorado cabin during a zombie apocalypse, armed with nothing but food, water and a crank-powered Victrola.”
Truth is, I only named four – but one is a double album, so there’s that. You’ll have to listen to find out which albums I picked .. oh, and only one has a direct Colorado connection – there’s that too 😉
