I used to be in a band named The Coyotes. Garry was the keyboard player and one of the singers. When we broke up he went to Nashville. For several years he played with Bryan White. Garry wrote this about life on the road at Christmas.

Rusty Young left Denver to go to L.A. to join Jim Messina & Richie Furay after the Buffalo Springs broke up. They formed Poco and he is still with them. His next Colorado concert will be on June 11th in Louisville.

Chuck is as passionate about music and saxophone as he is about politics and his love of country. His calls are filled with passion and so are his solo sax contributions to this project.

Sally Hybl is a wonderful wife and mother who somehow finds time to be a director & producer of local theatre productions. She is also a great actress and patron of the arts and charities. And not only a great singer but knows how to keep Christmas very well.

Silke was a young girl in Lubeck, Germany during World War Two. We featured her in the PBS documentary “Bomber’s Moon”.


Marla & The Radioheads are co-workers who blocked out an evening to get to know each other better while putting together this song in a studio. Marla on vocals, Jeff Mills on drums, Jarred Rego putting it all together.

When I was in The Coyotes Rich Prezioso did most of the lead vocals and guitar. When we called it a day he formed a folk, celtic, texas swing, duo with Jacquie Manning (former Queen Of Tarts at the Renaissance Festival). They continue to tour nationally and have several Cds available. Usually play at Swallow Hill in Denver at least once a year. See them. www.smallpotatoesmusic.com

Jarred Rego is the producer for The Richard Randall Show and now has his own talkshow on 740 KVOR on Sunday afternoon at 5:00 pm. He is a young (23 this Christmas) conservative… but also a musician and HUGE Beatles fan. This is his tribute to Paul McCartney & Christmas.

Jeff Ahrendsen is a good friend who joins me sometimes on the Saturday morning show to talk classic rock. I don’t know a person who knows more than he does on that subject. He also helped me out on “Bomber’s Moon” by sitting in with Firefall lead singer Steve Manshel to record a few songs for the soundtrack. This time he sat down with his daughter Casey. Recorded at his home, in front of the Christmas tree with the dog by the fireplace. Oh, and it was snowing outside. Just saying.

The Hybl Family Singers. Four wonderful, well behaved and talented children just having fun singing some Christmas Carols. The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The children of my Church did a little old fashioned, door-to-door, Christmas caroling.

Colleen & Scott are just Colorado kids with a younger, Colorado taken on a traditional song. I have been that blood on the mountain a few times.

When Timothy B. Schmit left Poco to join the Eagles he was replaced by Jack Sundrud. Jack grew up in a small town (population 500) in Minnesota. Now he lives in Nashville and after a few albums as the leader of Great Plains, he is still singing and playing with Poco.

Paul-David Almond is the son of one of my favorite listeners – Lorraine. He took time out of a very busy season to go into the studio to record this for the project. It’s him on all vocals and guitars.

Richard Randall on Greensleeves/Amazing Grace sounds like a drummer playing guitar. But it is the song that counts. I promised myself that every year I would learn a new Christmas song, so I have. “Day Off” is exactly that, written and recorded while relaxing at home on a day off. Phil Rader (Harmonica) and I originally recorded “Christmas South Of Clarksdale” as part of the soundtrack for “Soul Of The Delta”. So it was heard in the south of France when the film screen at the film festival in Cannes.

FINALLY: In some ways this is not a very polished event. Much of it was spur of the moment, just for the fun or it, and I think most everyone has some fun. Hope you do it. And mostly… Merry Christmas. Richard

PROFILING PERFORMANCE

Profiling Performance
Employees are the most valuable asset in almost every business organization. Effective Talent management, hiring for job fit, performance management and targeted leadership development will allow you to retain and develop top performers in your company. The use of valid behavioral assessment tools at any stage of an employees’ tenure helps company leaders ensure that they have the right employees in the right places within the organization.

Integrating behavioral assessments into a talent management program allows managers to:

Make better hires
Reduce turnover
Improve performance
Increase sales
Build Stronger Teams
Improve employee training and development programs
Align staff strategically
Create insightful succession plans
Whatever your need for Human Resource assessments we offer a variety of effective workplace-tested instruments your business can use with confidence. Let us become your assessment partner.

As a strategic business partner with Profiles International our customers can join more than 40,000 other companies that already use Profiles assessments while enjoying the advantage of access to hands on customized solutions. Croke-Schoenherr guides companies in the positioning their human capital where it pays the greatest rewards… in productivity… in lowering stress, tension, and conflict… in creating more effective communication… and in motivating significant, measurable, bottom line growth. By working closely with our clients we are able to provide solutions at appropriate points in the hiring-employment lifecycle for maximum value.

Hiring
A study in the Harvard Business Review revealed job-matching to be the most important indicator of successful performance...”person who have been matched, out performed, to a statistically significant degree, than those who had not been matched.” - Greenberg and Greenberg, Harvard Business Review, vol. 58 no. 5
Croke-Schoenherr guides companies in talent management by creating a sound and thorough hiring process designed to provide insight into the WHOLE PERSON you are considering as an employee or teammate.

Interviewing alone allows for a 1 in 7 chance that you will make a good hire. If you are using traditional selection methods alone to hire you are drastically reducing the likely hood of hiring successful performers.



Succession Planning/Staff Alignment

Understanding who you have on staff and knowing their hidden strengths and weaknesses is the key to effectively aligning your staff to extract the highest productivity possible and selecting future leaders.

By using a valid cognitive and behavioral assessment tool with a job matching component such as the Profile XT to understand potential capabilities or a multi rater feedback tool like the Checkpoint 360 business owners and managers get an insiders perspective of the players’ strengths and weaknesses and make better staff alignment decisions.

Performance Management
The only truly effective method of managing diverse employees is to look at each one as an individual and to understand what motivates them. Then, coach them regularly to get the behavior you want.
The Profiles Performance Indicator™ measures the behavior of individuals and the impact of their actions on your organization's success. The Customer Service Profile and the Profile XT offer Job Matching based on the unique qualities needed to make a player successful with your company in your jobs. The Profiles Team Analysis identifies strengths as part of a group and helps leaders build strong teams with comprehensive abilities.

All of these tools offer coaching guidance based on the individual’s unique characteristics.

MY PRODUCER - JARRED - STEPS OUT ON HIS OWN

"The Jarred Rego Show" Make sure you tune in Sunday, December 20th at 5 PM on KVOR!!


- I will offer KVOR a fresh, new conservative voice that can engage the young listening audience in Southern Colorado and start the process of attaching them to the #1 Rated KVOR brand.

-Using my quick wit and skilled sense of humor, I will be able to make my show stand out from the pack.

-My finger will always be on the pulse of local news due to my reporting work in the KVOR 24 Hour News Center.


-I will focus mainly on politics and major news issues of the previous week. I will also be able to offer the first analysis of major news events for the forthcoming week.

-I will have the first take on the Sunday Morning News Talk Shows. With my placement on Sunday evenings, I will get first crack at dealing with the fallout from the morning shows and help shape our coverage for the week. Also, I can offer a young perspective on stodgy old institutions like Meet the Press and Face the Nation.

-I am a recent Political Science graduate from the University of New Hampshire. Having attended school in a liberal state, I have hours of experince articulating and defending my beliefs.

-As an award-winning Model United Nations delegate, I am well-equipped to discuss international political issues.

-I ravenously consume political media (particularly the new media like blogs that do so much to shape our day-to-day political discussions) and I will not allow a story of interest to pass me by.

-With like-minded friends of my age in both California and New Hampshire, I will be able to have a nation-wide discussion on my show

-I do very well in think-on-my-feet, debate type situations, so I would welcome and encourage liberal call-ins. I know that these interactions will result in one of three outcomes. 1. I win the debate. 2. I show my conservative listeners how to disarm liberals with facts. 3. I will convince those who are on the fence or persuadible that I hold the correct point of view.
