Rick Keene Music Scene 
I’m glad to see confidence and success for you…….keep it up!
Who is this?
Hi! First time reader! Noticed you were listening to Gospel……..and what kind??? My testimony is truly unique, as i am a novice writer, singer, keyboard, and sound performer of Gospel music at almost 60 years old. True Holy songs touch the heart and soul of every human being. I truly believe there’s not enough, or much at all, Gospel music played today. Since you are open minded, are you openhearted to an interview with a man who clinically died for 12 minutes, and had to be revived then woken four and a half days later. Since awakening I have been blessed with the discerning gifts of music and sound.
Yes, this is my personal testimony that I am sharing with you in the hopes that it will bring to your attention the importance of the messages this music has and can impart.
Please forgive my directness!
Hope to hear from you,
Rick Parent
