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

starrsguitars.com

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.

CP S17 EP24 2023

MONDAY JUNE 26, 2023 – I just finished my final weekend as a regular show host on 105.5 The Colorado Sound, as we get set to move off the Front Range after 45 years. The Colorado Playlist will continue in its usual times – 6AM on Saturday and 6PM on Sunday. Claire and I are looking to our move to the western slope in the coming weeks.

HOW THE CP GOT ITS NAME: January 2016, the principles at KJAC (Greeley) approached me about selling the name of my show, The Colorado Sound. While I was wracking my brain for a new name, my adopted step-daughter said, “Daddy, we call those playlists now.” ‘Nuff said kid. The Colorado Playlist was born in January 2016. I started working for the Colorado Sound in February 2016. It’s been a great seven and a half years.

CP S15:EP42 2021

Monday Oct 18, 2021 – The first task when I get up and pour coffee on Monday morning is to sit down and write out the Monday morning blog post. Typically, I scan headlines and my FB newsfeed.

Today’s feed was a sad reminder that a) COVID is still killing people, even those who have been vaccinated, and b) that despite COVID, “…we think this lasts forever … it doesn’t; forgive, love and be good to one another.”

That quote was the last line in a post by Colorado Music Hall of Fame musician and educator Chris Daniels, informing us that veteran Kings bassist Kevin “Bro” Lege is in the ICU at St. Anthony’s, “…getting amazing care …but the outlook is not great.”

Chris didn’t indicate the reason for “Bro’s” condition, but we do know that former Secretary of State Colin Powell passed away last night from complications related to COVID.

As Chris Daniels reminds us, “…we think this lasts forever …it doesn’t; forgive, love and be good to one another.”
