KSJD Cortez CO

August 15, 2023 – ON THE ROAD AGAIN! Visiting Cortez/Mesa Verde. In my travels and life, people often tell me they don’t listen to radio because there are too many commercials and playlists are too limited. Unfortunately, these very people don’t turn to the plethora of non-profit non-commercial radio stations in our state.

The Colorado Playlist is fortunate to be aired throughout the state on a network of non commercial community based public radio stations. For the time being, it is not being aired on KSDJ Cortez – while they look for a new time slot to air it. IN the meantime, check the stations and times page for where and when you can hear it.

Dragondeer debuts in the TOP 5 and Daniel Rodriguez re-enters the TOP 5 below.

Monday Feb 13, 2023 – Happy (early) Valentine’s Day. Sadly, we lost two more members of the Colorado music scene this past week, when it was reported that longtime Denver music veteran, Jimmy Ayers, passed away after a long and drawn out battle with cancer. Blues guitarist Jeremy Vasquez also passed away.

Jeremy was a long time SoCO musician who lived in Texas for the past few years, but was really admired among CO blues guitarists. As posted by long time scene drummer Kyle Borthick, “Jimmy Ayers was a pillar of the community. A true gentleman and a righteous guy all the way around.” RIP fellas.
