Hey Rev...It was great Jammin' with you at Robert Allen Jr.'s gig at the Brickhouse a couple of weeks ago. I was the dude playin' some harp. I see you are at Liquid Johnny's again with Rick Holmes tomorrow. You need a harp player? Let me know.

PT! Kay McCarthy here in Boulder Colorado.
I watched you playing on You Tube! That warmed my thoughts tonight. It's been a long time and I hope you remember the last time Michael and I came to see you and Jeff playing in Muskego or Hales Corners.

Reverend Raven is superb - of course.

You're still the greatest bassist, only more so.

If you find yourself touring out here in the wild, wild west, we would love to see you hard at work.

Best Regards,

Kay McCarthy-Hamers

I just got back from Indy yesterday. We spent the weekend at the motorcycle expo. And of course we went to the noodle to hear some blues. Unfortunatly we missed you by a week. It just wasnt the same without the Rev and the boys. Next year you need to book the noodle the second weekend of February so we can hear some Slow Burn. Hope we see you next year.

elden.. and many disapointed fans.

Hi Rev, I'm the one who called you today about getting 2 of the Slow Burn CD's at your show in Fargo on 2-9. Please email me so I can send you my address. p.s. your show was AWESOME!!! your were the headliner in my opinion!!!

Rev

February 11, 2008

Big apology to everyone who showed up at Checker's on Sunday. I cancelled the gig while on the road and didn't get near a computer to send an e-mail. Gig was cancelled because of band member illness and no-one to fill in for the gig.

BROTHER SUPERIOR

February 11, 2008

Received recent communication from Mother Superior. Many thanx! Thrilled to discover future booking at Thirsty Ear in Columbus-can,t wait! Fat Fish Blue in Cleveland is an excellent venue-strongly recommend Jennie Pennies Chicken & Biscuits-YUM!

Tammy

February 11, 2008

It would have been a wonderful idea for someone to let us folks in Iowa know that last nights show had been canceled. A few of us once die-hard fans ventured out in the cold and drove to Checkers. Big big disappointment. Checked the web site before leaving. Hmmmm, probably won't be as eager next time.

TC

February 10, 2008

Really enjoyed your show in Fargo last night. Hope to see you again somewhere.

I know this is "kinda" like preachin' to the choir, but just want to thank the "Rev" for another wonderful night of music last night at Neumann's Bar in N St Paul. As always, it was a very rewarding evening. I can't think of another band that captures the sound & beat like these guys. Have a wonderful trip to the "Islands"

The Best,

Gentleman Jim & Virginia

Hey Everybody!

I've been lurking for awhile but this is a really cool forum so I decided to
jump in and get my feet wet. I'm new at this so I don't have much to
say but it's been real educational reading here and I look forward to
participating.

Gentleman Jim

Thanks Rev

I saw you guys for the first time on 05/25 at the Hody in Middleton. That was unbelievable. Really. Amazing sound...makes it possible for people who can't dance move from somewhere they've never before. ...and easier for people like me who love to dance, find a partner. Looks like I'm going to have to plan a road trip to see you again anytime soon. I'm calling my sister right now so she takes her friends to go see you in Appleton tomorrow night.

HARPO MARK

Mark "Suggy" Sugarman

May 25, 2007

Rev- Remember me??? Drummer from "The Valley?" I used to sit-in with you at the "Harvey-Dome" in Oshkosh. Truly some of my fondest memories was playing with you before you obtained notoriety. Even years ago you I said you were a "Powerhouse" on guitar. There are very few guys who can do as many things as you can do. You always kept the house rock'n and you deserve every award you have earned. Hopefully I will see your show this summer. Seeing the Reverand in action...is truly a "spiritual experience." Bless you and your bandmates...a fan always. Shuggy/ Drummer

RevR - Stopped in to check out a new place in Granville, OH on Sat. 5/5/07 and discovered your absolutely fantastic blues band that I didn't know about. Sorry that the crowd wasn't huge - you deserved it! Due to circumstances I couldn't stay for 3rd set. Your guest Ray Fuller was awesome too! Wish you were coming back for the Granville Blues Fest on Sept.15! KEEP ROCKIN!

Hey Guys,
My name is Melissa. My friend and I were @ your show in Des Moines, IA in March. We had such a GREAT TIME!!!!! Probably too much fun! We certainly don't regret it though. I am curious to something I saw in your schedule. I saw you will be in Clear Lake, IA on July, 1st. I am hoping this is correct. We are very excited to see this show. We even have a group planned on being there. However, I want to make certain you will be there. Your response will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!

Thanks so much!
