Got my first up-close view of the Colorado mountains in the early '80s, and it's been a favorite travel destination ever since. I even got a chance to live there for a couple years when I took a job as the editor-in-chief of The New Brewer, a trade magazine for the American craft brewing industry. (Yeah, sometime you just get lucky...) My time there in the foothills inspired me to write a song called "Groovy Town" and you can take the ride with me here. Just hit "play" above.
"Well it’s 8:15, she’s on the 119, waitin’ on the bus from the RTD..." Get the full lyrics at beanhoy.bandcamp.com/track/groovy-town
AUTHOR'S NOTE: "Groovy Town" is one of 12 songs on the Bean Hoy album, It's a Big Dumb World: A 25th Anniversary Collection, released on Momentous Records in March 2019. Now it's also part of my I Remember Travel Tunes collection. Stream the album at beanhoy.bandcamp.com. You can download tracks there too, if you're still into that kind of thing. –Starling
