Again, our hearts are crushed by the horrific shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Having been through this ourselves, we know that the families of all involved need all the hugs, love, and prayers we can send. We are sure that one of those kids was an aspiring musician and that really makes him/her family. There are no words that can send comfort.

COMBO is about the “Business of Music.” Our mission is to assist musicians with the information they need to know in order to advance their own careers! Our articles represent some phase of music business that affects musicians everywhere.
