What's up PooBah. I don't know of anyone up in Fort Collins but check out the following site.
Denver Music Association
You will be able to find a lot of listings for people who teach there. Ron Bland would be a good choice from what I understand. I've never met him but we have spoken via phone several times. His info is available on the site and that's who I'm probably going to try to go with when my schedule is more conducive to taking lessons.
There's another person who is in Boulder that you may want to contact. His name is
Brent-Anthony Johnson. The drive to Boulder may be easier for you.
One of our TalkBass brothers is a teacher and he lives in Longmont which would be even closer for you. His handle is
MtnGoat. I have only communicated with him through the forum.
Either of them should at least be able to give you a few leads if working with them is not for you. Check out
BassLessons.com also. There are a few teachers listed on that database. Good luck!
