MONDAY JUNE 26, 2023 – I just finished my final weekend as a regular show host on 105.5 The Colorado Sound, as we get set to move off the Front Range after 45 years. The Colorado Playlist will continue in its usual times – 6AM on Saturday and 6PM on Sunday. Claire and I are looking to our move to the western slope in the coming weeks.

HOW THE CP GOT ITS NAME: January 2016, the principles at KJAC (Greeley) approached me about selling the name of my show, The Colorado Sound. While I was wracking my brain for a new name, my adopted step-daughter said, “Daddy, we call those playlists now.” ‘Nuff said kid. The Colorado Playlist was born in January 2016. I started working for the Colorado Sound in February 2016. It’s been a great seven and a half years.

Happy equinox from the desert – Chris K and Claire Mannato.

Monday March 20, 2023. Yep. Claire and I are on vacation in Death Valley. No spins chart this week, but I did get the MMMM done before we left.

We’re only in March and two songs are now in my short list for best song of the year. This week’s entry is from Rebecca Folsom. “Mercy” is an autobiographical tale of her and her sister. Homeless as children, and left behind, Rebecca eventually made it out, her sister didn’t. She would live her life and die in Boulder shelters. It’s a heart wrenchingly emotional performance on what in my opinion is the best song of Rebecca’s career as a songwriter.

Bridget Law has been splitting time between Tierro and Elephant Revival. Expect a new ER album soon.
