Like all here, I’m just trying to leave an echo !   Just trying to say I was here. How lucky are we to live in an age when that is possible?

reverend coldheart records with : mike shea, guitar whiz and sound designer, usually at his studio ;  mike hogan, who is a gifted bass player, usually in my kitchen ; joe ferguson, who is the original congregation and who started all this out with a christmas uke  ~   It's his fault !

Also, I’ve been jamming with Jarod, Tek, Gary and Shelbie on Sundays in a little white house out past Stilesville. We record under the name “makebelieve”. Hope to post some jams every now and then .

Since October 2023, Sunday jams with Gman and Reggie.  We record under name of:   “the charlatans”.  Or lately, the Sunday Jam.

Been recording solo
Fer a little while now at
Old man yells at cloud studios 
If you’ve read this far: Thank you
You know more about me than the people who surround me on a daily basis.  Being creative is the only thing that makes sense to me right now.  So, I’m gonna keep creating. 
I wonder what’s next?
Looking forward 


Thank you for listening
