Photo: Michael Hossler (from his Facebook page) | Congratulations to Michael Hossler for winning the entry into the Durango Songwriters Expo to be held on Thursday, Sept. 29th, Friday, Sept. 30th and Saturday, Oct. 1st at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield, CO (NOT in Durango, folks!). Michael plans to attend! FYI, the names of ALL of the entrants into our 9th Annual Songwriting Contest were put into a hat and an unaffiliated with COMBO third-party drew Michael’s name out! By the way, if you are a COMBO member, you get a discount to attend as well. http://www.durango-songwriters-expo.com for lots more info and to register.

Bar Code? Do you have one for your latest project yet? Remember that dues-paying members of COMBO are entitled to one FREE bar code per year. If you have a CD or DVD project in the works, contact us at Info@coloradomusic.org and we’ll be glad to assign you a code. These are needed if you intend to sell your CD at Twist & Shout, Angelo’s or on many of the internet sites.
.
The results of COMBO’s 9th Annual Songwriting Contest will be announced in a couple of weeks. We know you all are anxious to see how your song fared.
