CP S17 EP36 2023

Monday OCT 9, 2023 – Hope you enjoyed the last of the fall colors for the year. Snow is already falling with cozy nights listening to Colorado music in front of a fireplace with a great bottle of Colorado wine (or whiskey) right there with it. It’s also a great time of year to enjoy some live music at some of the best indoor venues anywhere. Check out the live music calendar.

MONDAY OCT 02, 2023 — Autumn is my most favorite time of year. September into mid October is when Claire and I most enjoy our long drives through the west. We’ve made it a habit now to rotate in-state and out of state drives. This year, we stayed home except for a day-trip or two to see the fall colors here in Colorado. The colors this year are fantastic, as is the music from our state.

I’m not posting a weekly TOP five this morning… watch for the September TOP 20 later.

In about a month, NOV 6, I will be receiving the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award from 105.5 The Colorado Sound (KJAC Greeley). As a part of that, a couple of weeks ago Adam Perry interviewed me for his Mile High Stash podcast – where he asks “what five albums would you take to a remoted Colorado cabin during a zombie apocalypse, armed with nothing but food, water and a crank-powered Victrola.”

Truth is, I only named four – but one is a double album, so there’s that. You’ll have to listen to find out which albums I picked .. oh, and only one has a direct Colorado connection – there’s that too 😉

WEEKLY TOP FIVE + SPOTIFY HITS + WHERE AND WHEN DO YOU GO OUT?

Good morning from the Crystal Coast NC – courtesy of Clear Vistas Photography

MONDAY SPT 25, 2023 …. Claire and I are just ending our annual September road trips. For a second year we visited the Crystal Coast in North Carolina. Now we are looking forward to doing a couple of day trips this next week for the fall colors. In the meantime, I’ve been focused on finding out what the most popular Colorado titles are on Spotify, besides tracking radio airplay around the state.

BUT FIRST! I want to know a bit more about you and your music habits.
