#COMUSIC TOP 30 MARCH 2025

Hi folks. I could use your help, please.

I’ve been able to bring you this program for the past 19 years because, like you, I’ve held a job that paid the bills. I’m mostly retired now and the costs of producing the show, tracking airplay and maintaining the site are really beginning 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.

_________________

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.
