MONDAY AUG 21 – Well, that road trip to SW Colorado last week meant I didn’t get a regular episode of the show produced. Stations were free to choose two from the nine special episodes of the show I have archived: Colorado In the 80s. Colorado In the 90s PT1 and PT2. Colorado Music Hall of Fame 2011-2022, Colorado Women of the 20th Century. Colorado Women of the 21st Century. Colorado Award Winners and Superstars PT1. Best of Caribou Ranch. Songs for and About Colorado.
Don’t forget – many (most) of the stations the Colorado Playlist is broadcast from archive up to two weeks worth of shows. Check links at stations and times to find out.
The Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM) is a way for you to let me know what you think of new music emerging from around the state. Results enter into which cuts stay in rotation, and which cuts make the final “best of” list.
This weekend I put together some new Spotify playlists.
COLORADO MUSIC HALL OF FAME – 79 songs, 5 hr 16 min.
COLORADO 1990s: 20 songs, 1 hr 20 min.
COLORADO 2000s: 30 songs, 2 hr 1 min.
COLORADO 2010s: 40 songs, 2 hr 42 min.
