Photo: Colorado Band Mighty Poplar – Their banjo player Greg Garrison is nominated for a Grammy! || I’m SO EXCITED! And I just can’t hide it!!! I just thought I’d let you know that COMBO is going to be presenting a Grammy Watch Party on Sunday, Feb. 4th starting at 6:00 p.m. See full details under the “Events” category below!

Someone on Facebook questioned the legitimacy of COMBO. A lot of you came to our defense and we truly appreciate that! Read my response and some of the defenders’ responses (including Carla Jordan’s) (Thank you so much, Carla) under “Music Notes” below.
