Monday Nov 19, 2018 – This is my pre-Thanksgiving post. As my girlfriend and I sat and watched news coverage of the California fires this past week, I couldn’t help but think about our own state and just how easily it would be for that to happen to us here. Natural disasters destroy everything.
One of the reasons we launched Rocky Mountain Music Relief a year ago was so that when natural disasters affect the musicians in our own region we’d have a way to help out. While our mission statement declares that we exist to help out musicians in the Rocky Mountain region (Colorado mostly) – I hope we can all contribute to helping those in need in California.
I’ll have big news coming in Q1 2019, but let me tease you a bit. Next year when I thank stations for airing this program there will very likely be one more. KFFR (Winter Park) has acknowledged they love the show and want to air it. They’re hoping for early 2019. Keep your fingers crossed. No deal is a done deal until the show is added and aired.
Thank you to KRFC (Fort Collins), KJAC (Greeley/Front Range), KDNK (Carbondale), KOTO (Telluride), KSUT (Ignacio/Durango), KLZR (Westcliffe), KCMJ (Colorado Springs), KAFM (Grand Junction), KOYC (Pueblo), KZYR (Vail) and KHEN (Salida).
These stations reach out across 24FM frequencies in the state – bringing Colorado music to their listeners 52 hours a week. I hope you’ll support them with your financial contribution.
At Bohemian Foundation, our focus is on building community …by coming together to create and enjoy music.
VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK
The environment is on everyone’s mind. “Nature’s Way” was originally written, recorded and released by the band Spirit in 1969. Songwriter Randy California recorded several versions of the song over the years, quipping that he never quite got it right. Now, it’s Firefall’s turn. Bassist Mark Andes an original member of Spirit, sings lead and is joined by featured guests Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles and John McFee of the Doobie Brothers.
I expect a new album from Firefall in the coming months.
