Welcome to the Monday Morning Music Meeting. Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs on the show. Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive or set aside.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) I shared in the show this week from Still House String Band, Jeremy Facknitz, The Barlow, and Drunken Hearts

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.

Also - This week on Youtube and stream the entire show at your convenience.

So, what's new this week? What has grabbed the ever lovin' goat's ears? and HEY - we're at 54/100 this week! (once we hit 100, it's one in and one out).

I'm very happy for the return of Analog Son leading the way with some funky jazz featuring Eric Benny Bloom and Adam Bodine drops some trio with strings on us... then comes some new alt-country-rock from The Barlow, some socially conscious folk from Drunken Hearts featuring Tim Carbone, Elektric Animals drop some punk; astute songwriter Jeremy Facknitz claims a space in the eclectic mix this week and The Desert Furs get totally psychedelic.

Newcomers this week = High Street Joggers Club and Telluride Bluegrass Festival band competition winners Still House String Band make their debut on Spotify (not yet available on YouTube).
