GET YOUR VOTES IN! POLLS CLOSE DEC 20.
The 2024 15 Annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

Every year I debut (D) 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.

Cross country and in-state moving + storage. Located in Fort Collins.
