Larry Norman Message Board

Tom Earl

When I was a young christian back in the 70's and I would play my "annoying christian music" for my friends to hear (guess I thought I was witnessing) I remember that Larry's music was the only music that caught the ears of my unsaved friends and caused them to ask "who is this"? Lar...

Chris Neal

When I first became a Christian back in 1988, my then girlfriend (now wife) introduced me to a few Christian albums, one of them being Larry's "Upon This Rock." I've read interviews where Larry said that he wasn't thrilled with the results on the disc, but as a new Christian who never dreame...

Darrel Brooks

Larry's music was able to bridge a gap between the music my parents listened to in the 70's (Southern Gospel) and Christian Rock we listened to. His song "I wish we'd all been ready" was also recorded by the Crownsmen. I can still remember the day I heard them playing the song and i was able to r...

Richie Grant

Thanks so much for posting this... hard to believe that we are the older generation now-- so much has happened since Larry started-- I just want to add my voice to those who have appreciated his gift to the body over the years. May we too leave a positive lasting legacy. My dad- Richard Compton- had a rec...

my condolances go out to the whole larry norman family. he was truly walking the walk and talking the talk...unlike some others. he was soooo influential in my life and my whole families life. i have listened to larry normans music for 35-40 years of my life. he will be sorely missed but he is in a far bett...

Steve

I first heard Larry in 1976 or so, when I was in high school. It was my first exposure to real Christian rock, and as anyone who actually did something right, he was persecuted by both the "church" and the world. I last saw Larry a few years ago, 2001 or so, when he played the main stage at the Co...

Today, April 8th, would have been Larry's 61st birthday. I am sad that he is not here to celebrate it, but I am happy now that since his good life ended, we know a better one began! I am sure Larry is with Jesus, leading the choir of angels around the throneroom in "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good...

Robin (Spear) Smith

My good friend Jose introduced him to me when I first started going to (I think it was called Brasewood Assembly of God), his music compelled me and I still feel the spirit of Larry's message in his songs, I am so saddened to hear of his passing, if anyone remembers me, email me at: robin@cfl.rr.com

Dear Larry Norman's family. I was so sorry to hear about Larry Norman. I have known him and his music since I was around 15 years of age and was born again. I used to Produce a talk show in Los Angeles and I remember him coming into the studio to do an interview. I just wanted to say he is with Jesus and may God c...

Richard Cummins

Hey Solid Rockers! Phil keaggy, Larry's original drummer from "In Another Land", Mark Walker, and me, Richard, have rerecorded "Song For A Small Circle of Friends'. Randy Stonehill refused to be part of the tribute. I have been trying to get a hold of Charlie so he can post it, but to n...

Dee

Here is what Larry would say: See You in Heaven.....I love You Larry Make a right onto "Believeth Blvd." Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ. From there... You must turn onto the "Bridge of Faith," Which is over troubled water. When you get off the...

Nate Schwalm

I am thankful to meet him at his last two performances at Cornerstone Music Festival for 2000 and 2001. I am blessed to be raised up by a Jesus Freak uncle that got me started listening to his music since 5th grade. The messages in the songs is what kept me going through my darkest seasons in life with deep d...

Richard Mansur

Larry, you helped me to sing and laugh and to feel welcome in God's Family. Thank You.

"Jump back, back in time, it was '73..." My brother, Jim, introduced my family to Larry Norman at "Jesus '73" in Morgantown, PA. He brought two of his albums, signed, back to our tent, all excited. One was "So Long Ago the Garden". When my Mom saw the silhouette of...

Pattie Bernasconi-Vandall

Dear Family of Larry Norman, I want to express to you my sadness for your loss. I have been a Christian for over 25 years. Unfortunately, I have spent a lot of that time backslidden. I first started listening to Larry's music about the time I was saved. I saw Larry perform once in L.A.. It was over 20 years...

David

I had the opportunity to see Larry Norman in concert a couple of times in Toronto, Canada at the People's Church. His impact was always more impressive then what you would expect from any man or woman. His down-to-earth words, tone in speech and in lyrics make him a timeless music legend. His words a...

This is for Larry, I know your gone from here now, but I have to say, I'm sorry I wasn't there with you or at least to say goodbye. IF your watching, please forgive me. I will get back with GOd, I promise. I didn't understand things and felt hurt and angry, but I understand now. I will keep the Cracker Jacks I...

Jonathan Dorris

I was exposed to Larry Norman's career at a young age by my father, who is just a few years older than Larry. All I know of passion for God in music comes from the likes of Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Keith Green, Phil Keagy, and so many others. Allthough I never had the opportunity to meet Larry, the rec...

your inspiration is my inspiration. your music is my music. your people is my people. your god is my god. I wish you a great time with Jesus Christ!

"Well Done Good & Faithfull Servant" I only can think this will be the greatest reward any of us that hope unto Christ, and the work he did on the cross, can hope for! This I hope -"to see ya'll there in the end". Larry's honesty and directness in pointing to Chirst, the way ...

Greg & Nona Coleman

We truly love Larry and are going to miss him. Our wonderful Savior has used his music and writings to encourage me as well as to make me the kind of Christian who will stand for the truth of God's Word. Larry never compromised, and that in itself is a legacy. See you at the Throne, brother. :)

Piet de Groot, The Netherlands

Thanks for writing one of the most beautiful songs that made me laugh. Dirty Gyptians. I can see Him smiling!
