MONDAY NOV 27, 2023 – I hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend with close friends and/or family. Of course, I spent my weekend getting the 14th Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll launched. Make sure to get your votes in before DEC 21.

I track monthly spins from the first Sunday in a month, through the final Saturday in the month, so NOV’s spin counts finished this past Saturday. I’ll get the monthly TOP 20 out in a few days.

MONDAY JULY 24, 2023 – We’re home. What a trip! NW Colorado is as unique and beautiful a place as there is in our state – and most of the rest of the region tbh. Claire had one night, our first after driving nearly five hours, to shoot clear vistas and stars. Rain and/or clouds obscured the night skies the rest of the week. Oh well – next road trip is mid-August to Mesa Verde for the Persied Meteor Shower.

Speaking of Mesa Verde, KSJD, serving the Mancos/Cortez and four corners section of the state, will NOT be airing the Colorado Playlist for the foreseeable future. Please continue to support this locally programmed community station as I wait for a new slot for the show to open up.

I need your feedback. Despite the really nice number of you who visit weekly, the MMMM has been receiving fewer votes. REMINDER – the MMMM was designed to gauge what you think is the BEST of the Colorado Playlist new music every week. A highly favorable “like” sticks around for future plays. A highly disfavorable vote means the song is more likely to disappear from my library.

Share the love – share #coloradomusic.

I NEED YOUR HELP! – It’s getting increasingly more expensive to maintain this show on a weekly basis. As much as I’d like to, I can’t keep spending my savings to produce the show. Please consider supporting. Venmo chrisk-2 or use the donation form below.
