"Song For A Small Circle Of Friends"
"Readers Digest" and "God Part iii" (accompanied by Mike Roe)
If you haven't listened to Larry's music before ... or if it's been a real long time, might I suggest checking it out. My favorites would start at So Long Ago The Garden and/or Only Visiting This Planet and then jump around from Stop This Flight to Something New Under The Son to In Another Land to Upon This Rock. The Statesmen Journal in Larry's hometown of Salem, OR wrote a nice article on the man. One of the small details in there was that Frank Black of the Pixies fame was writing an album with Larry. I can't think of much higher accolades for a Christian musician than when prominent musicians out there want to work with him. That's totally cool - especially for an artist that didn't compromise.
Great words Doug, thanks. I was introduced to Larry Norman and his music by the guy who would become your pastor when he was just my friend and high school Bible study leader back in the early 80's. And I am glad he did. Larry's music now takes up a fair amount of space on my iPod. Will there ever be another Larry Norman? Bono perhaps? I can only hope. Thanks again.
