Hard to believe that our bubbly, beloved Barb Dunmall left us 11 years ago. She is sorely missed as she was a true COMBO supporter donating many hours to helping us out in so many ways. The last time I saw her, she was watching Buckner Funkin’ Jazz at the People’s Fair. Never miss the opportunity to tell your friends and family how much you love them as we are not promised tomorrow.

COMBO is about the LOVE of Music. We have a board of dedicated and knowledgeable musicians and others in the Music Industry. We offer guidance and advice to help musicians advance their careers whether it be in writing, performing, teaching, or recording and sound engineering! Our articles and programs represent some phase of the music business that could effect musicians – all musicians – everywhere. Our motto: Elevate Your Musical State!
