Monday, March 27, 2023 – I almost never lead off with a new video before it airs on the show. In fact, I can’t recall the last time I did.

I got back to the office last Wednesday from a week in Death Valley and Las Vegas to find a submission from the industrial-psych duo, the Drood, made up of Nathan Jamiel and Daniel Watts. Every once in a while something just pops up and demands that I engage. This is one of those times. I’ll let the video speak for itself. Thumbs up for one of the best (so far) for 2023. Let me know what you think.

Live Music Colorado featuring LiveMusicMegaSearch™

Barr Lake, Brighton, CO – Winter 2022 courtesy of ClearVistasPhotography

MONDAY MARCH 13, 2023. Claire and I are off to Death Valley this week. Looking forward to some desert warmth and spring flowers. So, if there’s no post next Monday, you know why.

The word is out that I’m “retiring.” Not entirely. I’m leaving Northern Colorado radio & music after a forty-five year run and moving to Grand Junction. I will continue to produce the Colorado Playlist. And who knows what else I can do in “retirement.”

#COMUSIC TOP FIVE WK ENDING 3/11

*The Wood Brothers are not, specifically speaking, a locally based band, but as it custom on the Colorado Playlist I also include Colorado expats living elsewhere – so long as they were born and raised here, or got started here .. so the new Wood Brothers tracks (one due out in April) get included.*
