The Colorado Sound S7/EP05 Feb 2013 + Video of the Week.

chris k july 2010Every week I receive a fairly large amount of new music to evaluate for the show.  I’d say most of what I get makes it on-air at least once.  I don’t know if that’s because I’m only receiving the cream of the crop, or if we’ve just become that good in Colorado.  I like to think it’s a bit of both.

I’m often found cruising Facebook, scanning for items of information I can use in the news and notes section of the show, or just information about artists in general to talk about.  Recently, I saw a post for a show that got my attention, not because of the headliner, but because I mistook the message and thought a different band was having a cd release party… whereupon I immediately contacted that band about their new cd.  Of course, to my chagrin, I discovered I had made a mistake.  I was subsequently turned onto a new artist … whose cd release party it really was … and was told that she’d done very well on YouTube, with 24,081 subscribers and 2,399,645 video views, and that she sells out the rare show she does locally.  So, with that background – may I please introduce to you Miss Elise Lieberth with our video of the week selection.

The Colorado Sound S7/EP03 Jan 2013 + AN EXCLUSIVE NEW VIDEO LINK

What a great b-day weekend … well, in the very least it was very interesting … LOL. Thanks to the many hundreds who visited my FB page and wished me a Happy Birthday – and thank you (not) to my Dr. who has completely freaked the old goat out for at least another two months, while more tests are done to determine if I’m suffering from some “hidden” illness.  Sheesh .. and people wonder why I never go to doctors unless it’s a really bad situation that absolutely requires it.  Anyway… I guess I am starting to show the effects of age, and a oh-so-not-good lifestyle so I guess it’s all good – since I really want to be around another 20 years to do what I most love to do (second only after cuddling my wife, or snuggling with the grand kids).

One of the things I’ve tried to do every week is put together a video playlist for your enjoyment.  Well, instead of doing that this week, I received a very cool offer from Wendy Woo, whose husband Charles presented us with an exclusive that people will only be able to access here at Colorado Music & Radio for the next five days.

I’ve been a fan of Wendy Woo for well over a decade now.  I’ve had the great pleasure of working with her and her various bands over that time in one capacity or another.  So, it really is a tremendous pleasure for me that they invited me to present this video exclusively for those of you who visit this blog every week.  Pls click to enjoy in a new window.  Wendy Woo – Hey Bartender
