We found this link on Hydraulic's web site:
"If you are a musician looking for a band, a band looking for a musician, a club looking for bands to hire, or looking for musical instruction, THIS [Music Mates] is the place for you! Serving Colorado and the surrounding area, Music Mates has the MOST comprehensive listing of musicians, instructors, bands, gigs, schedules, well you get the idea! I have done business with the proprietor, Marty Dickinson, since 1996, and he is a real straight shooter, no BS guy. He does what he says he's gonna do, and then some. He hosts my band's web site, and did a heckuva job, for peanuts too!"
Thanks for the kind words, Jeff! -Marty
