MONDAY JULY 31, 2023 – I won’t say that Aug 5th is my official retirement party, because it isn’t – but it is a soft retirement, as I get set to move to Grand Junction in the coming months.

I’m very excited to host my 15th Dacono Music & Spirits Festival on Sat, Aug 5th with the Record Company, Patti Fiasco, Musketeer Gripweed, 2MX2, Shelvis & the Roustabouts, and Eric Golden, along with our annual opening / set up youth band from Castle Rock.

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.
