MONDAY OCT 16, 2023 – ON THE ROAD AGAIN! We needed some Western Slope love, so we headed out for a long weekend to visit our future home in Grand Junction. Claire got some great shots of the Milky Way overlooking Cedaredge that hopefully we’ll share with you next Monday. Sooooooooo. NO TOP 5 TODAY. Check out the Colorado Playlist Facebook page and I’ll post up there tomorrow. You can find the HOT SPINS on the NoCO Front Range there now.

As happens occasionally, one of the (D) tracks is not yet released. Look for New Family Dog to drop a new album soon. Thanks to Jon Ridnell for getting me a track early to share with you on the show – but you’ll have to listen to the show to hear it for now. See stations and times page for where you can listen until Friday, or on the archive page at ColoradoSound.org

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 😉
