WOW..did you hear the guys on from Trans-Siberian Orchestra on with us this morning.  They were superb!.. To play and sound that great live in our studio early in the morning is unbelievable to me.  I hope you get a chance to see the concert at the Pepsi center.  We do play their music throughout the holiday season.  Here is a picture of just some of the boys from the show who came in…

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday together!!  Enjoy this amazing Christmas light display set to music to really put you in the spirit.. Murphy

Our wonderful evening host on KOSI, Delilah, was in town for a book signing at the Tattered Cover in Lodo. We had a small private gathering with her before the signing and it was super. She is everything you think she is by listening to her, very real. I loved the fact she has the same on-the-air morals as me. We won’t touch certain subjects or talk about possible clients, if they don’t fit the family image we strive for. She has 10 children and 5 grandchildren and loves them all very much. If you have not listened to her on KOSI, you should. The phone calls alone are worth the time.

WOW..what a great day Tuesday at the Ronald Mcdonald House radiothon. Thanks to all of you we went way over what was expected..almost $50,000. It was a wonderful heart warming experience to be part of the adventure. We were wondering ,with the state of the economy, how it would go, you guys never let us down. It was great that Rocky the nuggets guy came by with some of the Nuggets dancers. Ian Lapierre of the Av,s called us from on the road in Calgary to cheer us on, what a great guy. The big thrill was quaterback Jay Cutler came by to urge us on and say HI to the kids. Jackie Selby and I got to talk to him as you can tell by the pictures above, what a great young man and yes girls he is single. We made life very comfortable or as comfortable as it can be with a child in the hospital for a lot of families…thanks to you

I know we are a far piece from Christmas but with the nice weather this weekend I’m thinking of putting up the outside Christmas lights.  Do you think I’m to early or very smart for doing it now when the weahter is still decent?  No i’m not going to turn them on until Thanksgiving night, but to get that job out of the way now would be sweet.  My neighbors don’t appreciate it because they say it puts pressure on them to get the done.  But if I have Caelee, my granddaughter, help me maybe they won’t come over the harass me.  Oh what the heck I’m going for it..I’ll let you know how it turns out. 

Well today is the day, all the madness will end and we will have a new president. I don’t care at this point who it is, I just hope we will all get on the same page and straighten this place out.  Let all the bad feelings end and work together.  Now on a lighter note, how was your halloween.  Do you have as much candy left over as I do, it won’t go away.  It seems to be multipling right before my eyes.  If I eat another Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup I will begin to smell like one.  How many calories are there in one of those?  I better not look, I don’t know if I can take the pressure.  Oh well, take a look at cute those grand children of mine are.  Greyson was a duck, Caelee was a life guard during the beginning of the day and changed to become a frog..just like a woman always changing!!…HA

I’m writing this on Friday so Happy Halloween, I’ll have some pictures next week.   I wanted to thank all of you for supporting Loyola school with their dinner fun raiser the other night.  We were at Senor Rita’s Cantina on Colfax.  The food is excellent and once a month they donate a part of their all day proceeds ot the school to help with their programs.. In the picture above are Sister Mary Ellen, Sister Sue, Sister Janet and Brother Gary.  They are part of  the brain trust of the school, as you know Carol teaches kindergarten there.  If you didn’t make it this month maybe we will see you next month.

So I talked about this the other day on the air but it is still freaking me out a bit.  Carol and I were leaving the AV’s game last Saturday after a big win over Buffalo.  Right behind me was a Buffalo fan, talking about how many Buffalo fans there were at the game.  I turned to agree , he kind of laughed , and said sure but you guys still won.  I told him we used to live in Erie, Pa. just down the road from Buffalo.  We spent alot of time there and loved the city and the people.  This guy says to me I used to live in Erie, when were you there.  I told him the years and it was the same time he was there.  He asks where I worked, I told the station, WRIE.  He says he listened to that station, who was I?  I told him my radio name was Mike Murphy, well he about falls down. He says he always listened and wondered what happened to me.  I told him I’m using my real name now and working on KOSI, hopefully Jim is listening to us now.  Small world….

As you know a couple of weeks ago we went to San Francisco to visit my son and his wife.  I love where they live, Mill Valley, just over the Golden Gate Bridge.  They are expecting their first child in January and we are all very excited.  As you can tell by the picture Sarah  doesn’t look that pregnant , but it is all out front.  From the back you can’t tell, but when she turns around OH BOY she is pregnant.  We were in Napa valley, what a great place. Sam and Sarah were married there 3 years ago and we went back to visit the scene of the crime.  we held the rehearsal at the only brew pub in wine country and it was great.  The guy who owns it is from Golden, Micheal, needless to say we hit off big time.
