This special evening with legendary chanteuse Lannie Garrett was recorded on November 22, 2019, at the History Colorado Center in Denver. Denver fans and periodicals have voted her “Favorite Female Singer” many times over, and in 2016 Lannie was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame to cap her amazing, decades-long career. A veritable chameleon of an entertainer and singer, Lannie switches easily from a glamorous, sequined chanteuse to a blues/rock "get down” gal to a comedy spoof—as she dons a rodeo-girl costume and wig as big as a tumbleweed to transform herself into an ole-time country singer, as seen in her popular "The Patsy DeCline Show."

In this politically charged environment, what's it like to be a political cartoonist? We talked with two: Ed Stein, in Denver, had given up the art, but came back to weigh in on President Trump. And on the Western Slope, Paul Snover's billboard of Trump slaying a liberal dragon got national attention.

Lawmakers at the Capitol are debating whether to allow municipalities to decide when bars should close. We speak with a bar owner and a nightclub manager who have differing views on the legislation.

And, blocks called Cubelets are self-contained robots designed to teach kids creativity.

Harry grew up singing and playing a series of instruments – from the piano to the clarinet, ukulele, baritone uke, and, in college, a six-string guitar. Philadelphia's lively folk scene provided the setting for Harry's first ventures into public singing. From there, friendships with Dick Weissman and Roger Abrahams fostered a growing interest in Anglo-American folk music. In 1960, needing a break from his studies (preparing for an architectural career), Harry traveled out to the Rocky Mountains for some skiing. He found a job at "The Holy Cat" in Georgetown, as a dishwasher, busboy, waiter, bartender, janitor, and – if there was a lull in the work at night – he could sing in the bar. There he met Hal Neustaedter – owner of "The Exodus," a folk club in Denver – who suggested that he look into starting a folklore center in Denver. With further encouragement from Izzy Young, owner of the first and (then) only Folklore Center, in New York's Greenwich Village, Harry opened the Denver Folklore Center in March 1962. Harry founded Swallow Hill Music in 1979. He was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2012.
