I love the story of the talents in the Bible: A master must go away for a long trip so he leaves 1, 5, and 10 talents to each of 3 servants, tasking them with investing their talents wisely. It is up to each of us to find our “talent” and to make the most of it or them. If your talent is musically-oriented, COMBO will help you to find your complements to reach your particular musical goal!
.
A sincere THANKS to all of you who continue to support COMBO by paying your dues! Not to embarrass anyone but we commend S.S. and E.N. for taking the time to write checks and to mail them! Thank you so much! If you would like to do the same, write your checks out to COMBO and mail them to PO Box 18186, Denver, CO 80218. $30 for individuals, $55 for bands, and $95 for businesses – we’ve featured a couple in our “Featured Members” department this weekend.

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!
