Congratulations to the Top Scoring Songwriters in COMBO’s Contest! Read the article to see who made our compilation CD. And we are so glad that Willie Hammond, whose name we drew for the winning entry into the Durango Songwriters Expo, will be able to attend! She will have a blast and will learn so much!

Wish I had the time but I would love to attend the trial for the two officers who are accused of killing Elijah McClain. Normally I am on the side of the law and the police but this case just infuriates me. Elijah, a musician who loved playing his violin for the pets at a nearby animal shelter, was attacked by the police and EMTs for simply walking down the street. At least Elijah’s death got the law changed regarding the administration of ketamine.
