Many lovely tributes to Kyle Simmons have been posted to Facebook including one by COMBO member Ryan Chrys. Please take a few minutes to read them. Kyle definitely will be a missing force in the Colorado music community. A short memoriam written by Alison Berg of the Rocky Mountain Public Broadcasting System is in our “In Memoriam” section for you to read.

The wonders of modern technology! No excuses from the rest of you non-attendees here! From San Francisco, CA, I was able to “attend” the COMBO event on “Monetizing Your Music: Get Your Legal Ducks in a Row”presented by expert guest speaker attorney Dave Ratner, Esq., via Zoom on October 24th – as were some other “long distance members” like Gordon Lewis who lives in Colorado Springs! My sister Julie Mascilli set her cell phone up and VOILA! I was good to go! A great, big THANK YOU to Mr. Ratner for his very informative talk! http://www.creativelawnetwork.com

Out of the blue we started getting emails from American Songwriter. They have some really interesting articles and information and we thought you songwriters might find some words of wisdom from their newsletter: https://americansongwriter.com/
