Vinyl Lounge with Curt Timmons presents an hour to Take It Easy! Let those tuner tubes warm up, lay some cool vinyl on the turntable, sit back and let the stereo speakers 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.
