I’m mostly retired now and the costs of producing the show, tracking airplay and maintaining the site are really starting to eat into my monthly retirement income.

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs.

Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) I shared in the show this week.

Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.

Monday NOV 29, 2021 – I hope you had a great weekend. While we were all indulging in the fixings and trappings that go with the start of the end of year holiday seasons, I posted the 12th Annual Colorado Playlist Listener Poll.

Categories include Album (LP/EP), Alternative/Indie, Americana/Country, Blues/Rock/R&B, Cover/Remake, Duo or Band, Female, Folk/Singer-Songwriter, Funk/Soul/R&B, Jazz Album, Male, New Artist/Band, Pop/Light Rock, Rock/Hard Rock/Punk, Single Release

The Burroughs and the Velveteers show up again in this week’s TOP 5, and there shouldn’t be any surprise who tops the TOP 30 coming out in a few days.

Monday NOV 22, 2021 – Happy Thanksgiving (yeah, I’m a few days early). Enjoy the time with your family and friends. Personally, I’m thankful for my incredible partner in life, my children, COLORADO music and radio, and YOU! Thank you for listening to the show and reading the Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM).

BIG changes in the TOP 5 weekly spins this week. Yes, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and the Lumineers are still dominant; while the Velveteers dropped down to #10, replaced by LOS MOCOCHETES, with Colorado jamband MAGIC BEANS filling in the #5 position this week.

I don’t usually debut (D) a release that is over a year old, but the album “The Offering” from Southern Colorado Americana country-folk singer-songwriter Xanthe Alexis struck a nerve with me this past couple of weeks and I wanted to share it. The album was originally released in August 2020 to tremendous praise from Americana reviewers around the country and for good reason. Check out the single The Offering below. Let me know what you think.
