COMBO’s webmaster David Barber has uploaded the video from Monday night’s “Put on a House Concert” program. One of the benefits of being a dues-paying member is you can watch – and re-watch – the video. Kathy Edwardson, Lori & Roger Drienka, and Slopeside all presented some ideas about house concerts and ways to make them GREAT! Slopeside’s members, Karen & Arn Current and Cody Culver made up a slide show of some of the private concerts they’ve put on. Some really creative ideas and a super business model to make the concerts “pay”.
