Time for a BIG THANK YOU to all those people who have joined COMBO and paid “their dues!” Dues money goes to pay expenses to keep COMBO up & running. We are manned by volunteers only so your dues pay for insurance, website and upkeep, post office, telephone services, and more. If there is anyway that we can help YOU out, please contact us at info@coloradomusic.org with your question(s) or comment(s).
.
COMBO is about the “Business” of Music. Our mission is to disseminate information that musicians need to know in order to advance their own careers! Our articles represent some phase of music business that could effect musicians everywhere.
.
PLEASE! Don’t kill yourself. We NEED *YOU*. Call a friend, wait until after midnight, get a lot of sleep, or call 1-800-273-TALK. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Trust us – You’ll be glad you stayed alive at some point in the near future. Walk outside and look at the stars and think how much you will miss them. You have a purpose in life – it’s up to you to find it.
