Vinyl Lounge

Vinyl Lounge with Curt Timmons, presents an hour to Take It Easy! Let those MacIntosh tuner tubes warm up, lay some cool vinyl on the AR turntable with that sweet Grado cartridge, sit back, and let those Klipschorns make the music happen! Join Curt to catch some Space Age Pop, Exotica, a bit of Easy Listening, and other Cool Music each Saturday at 8 p.m. on KUCO.
