First Lady of Soul

If Colorado has a first lady of soul, it’s Hazel Miller. The indomitable R&B artist is as much a household name in the Centennial State as Big Head Todd, and she’s a rare local musician who can pack pretty much any house on any night.

One Last Cup of Coffee

There are so many seemingly inconsequential people in our everyday lives. The UPS guy, the lunch counter server, the mail carrier. The coffee shop lady. More often than not, we take these folks for granted, not acknowledging that it’s the little things that are so important. This became reality last month, sitting bedside at Boulder County Hospice for a 30-minute lunch break that passed...

That worked for a while… well at least until a 26-year old female came along, and I decided I...
