Meme: Marco Delmar via Josie Quick: Here’s why Spotify sucks, and why you MUST buy CD’s, vinyl, or downloads STRAIGHT from the artists… please! | If you are a dues-paying COMBO member, don’t forget to send your shows in so we can list them on the calendar! And you also have a free barcode coming! Use it! Only way you can legally keep track of your CD sales, especially important if you offer it for sale at Twist & Shout Records, Angelo’s, or at other local record stores that offer home-grown talent’s merch!

Storm Gloor happened to catch that Chick Corea actually passed in 2021! Our apologies to Mr. Corea’s family and friends. Still odd, though, that singer Betty Davis, whom Chick recorded with, passed away exactly one year later.

Watched a show on RM PBS titled “In Their Own Words” on Chuck Berry on Saturday, February 5, 2022. Very interesting and informative. More a documentary on Chuck with actual footage of him performing and so much on his life. He had to overcome so much hatred and racism to rise to the star he is considered now.
