It's been a while. So I'll update this. Todd Money and I have decided to
part ways with The Sinners. I believe if my math is correct, that Todd originally
founded The Sinners in 1996. The band has a long history of excellent
musicianship, great song material, and many friends in the Nashville, TN. area. I
feel lucky to have put in 4 years of service to this great band, and to have Gary
and Dale as friends. Todd and I will continue working together with the Skeleton
Crew spreading the joy of music, and having all of our friends come out to party
with us.

Rock on and God Bless,

Rev.

Wow!!!! Last week was so much fun. I can't remember the last time I've
had that much fun. I've been sitting in with my pal Shane (Shane & The Money
Makers) on bass and sing some at The Campus Pub in the boro. That is a major
good time.

Also Friday the 13th at Carl's Pub was awesome. They were dancing on the
tables and the bar that night. Thanks for sitting in that night Alan. I'd also like to
thank Terry Hunt from Fastback for letting me use his bass rig and for letting us
use their PA system.

I really enjoyed Saturday too. It was denfinitely a Sinners night at The
Boardwalk Cafe. The Sinners will be back in there soon. Thanks for watching
the door Jaker!!!!Just think about it. It was a red hot week, and summer isn't
officially here yet!!!!

husband, Barb, Mona and Steve, Joe and Vickki, and Mike. You guys are the
greatest!!! This week me and the guys are going to be at Val's on Galtatin Rd.

Well, it has been a while since the update of the web site, but things are back on
track. We have some new members with The Skeleton Crew. Gary Zabadal on drums. He
used to play with the Platters, Dean Hall, and he does still play for The Sinners. We also
have aquired Todd Money on guitar. I'm guessing he has had a very interesting playing
career from the conversations I've had with him. He also plays with The Sinners. The
band made it's first outing with this line up at the Smoke house. It was a benefit for
Toby Benifields family. He was a Metro Fire Fighter that lost his life while working on his
newly constructed house. The Skeleton Crew will be booking more dates so be sure to
check out the Calender page.

The Reverend MAD Dog would like to thank everyone for the emails and phone
calls. Cool Papa Baker & The Rhythm Makers was a learning experience, and many
friends did come from that experience.

Because of all of the support that the Rev. has recieved from the Nashville, TN
area he has decided to put together a Rockin' 3 piece band to cover the demand.
Rightfully named the Skeleton Crew. Guitar player and friend Chris Reynolds has steped
up to the plate to cover guitar duties, and as soon as possible a drummer will be named in
the up and coming weeks. REV. MAD Dog & The Skeleton Crew will be coming in
January. So keep an eye on the Calender page.
