Coming to the web...
Covenant Fellowship has proposed funding and setting-up a web page, now in process, to promote Edward Waters and his writing. When complete, it is expected to feature selected texts of his work and include an informal audio-recording of seven songs done in a local studio this past summer. Edward has been an itinerant singer-songwriter since the early 1970s and released an earlier recording in 1987 entitled 'The Thing That Matters'. He also currently publishes a semiannual news-and-views letter called 'Stirrings of the Greywind'.
