We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves but we have set the date and place for our Holiday Dinner. More later. In the meantime, please plan on attending our Songwriters’ Showcase on Saturday, November 18th at Odde’s in Westminster, CO. You’ll really enjoy the show and hearing how the songwriters came to write their songs!
.
A reminder: Colorado Gives Day is Tuesday, December 5th. Please consider giving a small donation to COMBO which is totally staffed by volunteers so your money goes for expenses and not to salaries to provide our services to YOU. If everyone on our mailing list donated just $5, we’d have enough to finance our organization for a full year!

Looking for that perfect gift for the musician in your family (other than a new grand piano)? Check out The Music Stand’s holiday catalog for a ton of “stocking stuffers” (hint: I’d like a t-shirt that says “Got Music?” on it!) Thousands of music-themed gifts! We want to thank The Music Stand for their help with some of our community events. http://www.themusicstand.com

The trials of the first responders in the Elijah McClain incident (a young violinist who was just walking down the street and who had committed no crime) continue. The EMTs who administered the Ketamine that allegedly killed Elijah go on trial on November 17th.

COMBO is about the LOVE of Music. We have a board of dedicated and knowledgeable musicians and other persons who make their living by Music. We offer 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 effect musicians – all musicians – everywhere. Our motto: Elevate Your Musical State! (Courtesy of Andy Ard!)
