NOV 13, 2023 – Lifetime Achievement .. don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere until 2026 😉 That said, thank you for being a fan of the show and thank you to KJAC aka 105.5 The Colorado Sound for recognizing me this way. It really means a lot after 45 years working in Colorado music and broadcasting. Check out all the winners of the 2nd Colorado Sound Music Awards.
