August 7, 2023 – August kicks off with a festival I’ve been the entertainment director of since launching it seventeen years ago, the Dacono Music & Spirits Festival. And, after seventeen years it takes longer to recover from a day spent in the elements managing the show. UGH. But, today is Monday and here’s what’s up…

Beginning AUG 27, the Colorado Playlist will be aired statewide Sunday nights at 7:00 PM on 91.5 KUNC. That adds another fifteen markets that the show will be aired in, bringing the total up to forty-five frequencies statewide. See stations and times page for details.

Barr Lake, Brighton, CO – Winter 2022 courtesy of ClearVistasPhotography

MONDAY MARCH 13, 2023. Claire and I are off to Death Valley this week. Looking forward to some desert warmth and spring flowers. So, if there’s no post next Monday, you know why.

The word is out that I’m “retiring.” Not entirely. I’m leaving Northern Colorado radio & music after a forty-five year run and moving to Grand Junction. I will continue to produce the Colorado Playlist. And who knows what else I can do in “retirement.”
