CP SOME OF THE BEST OF 2024

Well here we are – on the outbound train to the next new year. As usual, I found it nearly impossible to actually present a “best of” show, so I once again present “some of the best of 2024.”

I don’t typically do fund raisers for the Colorado Playlist .. but it’s not free to keep going. I’m mostly retired now and the costs are really eating into my monthly retirement income. Please make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 OR use the form at the bottom of this page (I prefer Venmo).
