Rob Roper on Facebook: I want to thank everybody who came to Gennaro’s Bar and Lounge to hear me play music and celebrate my birthday. I had a blast! Thanks to J Luke Schmaltz for playing his songs. Thanks to Janet Lipson and Sam Caston for serving as my band. And thanks to everyone who helped me with the event in some way– Gregg Thomas, Leah Recor and Zano Lovato.

Channel flipping on Saturday and came across the Florida A&M vs. Norfolk State football game and who should be stealing the show but the 100 piece Norfolk State University Spartan Legion Marching Band! They had seated choreography going on with 4 drum majors and 1 head drum major. Those people were really moving – without leaving their seats! Congratulations to Norfolk State and their director Mr. William Beathea! https://www.nsu.edu/spartan-legion AWESOME JOB!

COMBO is about the LOVE of Music and the musicians who create and play songs. We have a board of dedicated and knowledgeable musicians and supporters who play or produce music and music acts. We offer an exchange of information, guidance and advice to help musicians advance their careers no matter what field you’re in. Our articles and programs represent some phase of the music business that could affect musicians – all musicians – everywhere. Our motto in Colorado: Elevate Your Musical State!
