Live Streaming from KLMR – Anything Goes Comes to Denver

Okay – there are those who probably won’t think this is GREAT! But, I do. You see, I absolutely LOVE the morning show on KLMR. “Anything Goes” has been my favorite radio show since Clare Behan spoke the magic words way back when I was a kid. I loved waking up to “And now… “Anything Goes” every morning before school. So, now, on those mornings when I’m out of bed and avoiding the high traffic rush of Denver, I can turn on the live stream and listen to Ty Harmon and Erik Stone chatting up the Lamar News. Sometimes, I catch them hosting exciting guest speakers or discussing local events with Mayor Roger Stagner. Not that Roger isn’t exciting… but… Just sayin’… It’s good to know that when you’ve moved far away from your hometown (all the way to the big city) there’s a little part of small town tucked into the recesses of your computer. That’s a good thing. So, if you’re looking for a little piece of home, check out the live KLMR streaming link in the right hand sidebar. It’s a real hummer!

My Mom, Esther Mulaney, joined us at the parade with some of my favorite Lamarites. She brought along friends, Martha Peery and Bonnie Miller, to watch the parade roll through downtown Lamar. Martha Peery was busy spoiling my grandbabies, lovin’ ‘em and watching them in the wind. She’s such a sweet woman, and loves my kids and grandkids so much. I just adore it when she talks about them. We all stood in front of Shore Arts Center and watched the Parade roll down the street. Kicked off by one of Lamar’s finest, the Parade route traveled from Big R to the Main Stop Light and then north to Poplar Street past the new Water Tower and Windmill at the Chamber of Commerce Station by the Rail Road. The crew from the read more…
