Larry Norman Message Board

Larry Norman Died Yesterday Please dont mistake this for a eulogy by a close friend. Rather, these are reflections from one who knew Larry a bit back in the day and after hearing of his passing, realized how his life impacted my own. Over the passage of time, some details may be a little off but its how...

Hello Charly or whoever may get this...how do I join the Phydeaux Phan Club? I read there is a forum here on the website for members. I looked at the website and didn't see how I could join. God be with you! Brenda brendabjt@yahoo.com

I was young in the height of the Jesus Movement ... but having older siblings that were in their teens at the time I was engrossed in the music and the culture. I remember going to Jesus Festivals. (Woodstock always get all the press--but I remember seeing thousands standing and worshiping God--bi...

I'm sending my condolescence to your family, Larry has been and always will be my model his music causes my to rededicate my life to jesus everytime I hear his songs. Without larry I think that my life of prayer and reading of scripture would never be the same. God bless you and his family....robert in ch...

Steve, UK

Reading so many of the comments from musicians on this fantastic thread site who say that they have covered live or recorded Larry's songs has set me thinking. Would it be a nice idea for some of us to put together a CD of our own versions of Larry's songs and send them to Charles and family as our little tri...

I was planning on doing so much work today but dont think Ill get much done now. I cant help but just be completely fixated on the difference larry has made. my heart is broken for the people that were close to him Yet at the same time I am thrilled for larrys graduation! I met him once and played in a band that...

Do you have any vinyl of Larry's that has never been released on CD? Do you want it on CD? I have used three different services for my vinyl transfers and i'd like to recommend them to you. They are all Christian run businesses and as far as I know they will not do secular albums. 1. www.mrscott777.com - T...

His music was so used by God but now he is getting to play for his Lord face to face, goodbye brother and I hope to see you perform again in heaven

Gord Wilson

Does anyone have the record album, Barking at the Ants? I used to have it. On it Larry introduced a lot of British artists that he then produced albums for, hence the name, a witty reference to then popular Adam Ant and Norman's dog and record company, Phydeaux. On the sleeve he says something about Stev...

I want you to know I just found out about Larry's passing from my sister Gae. I would have come to say goodbye had I known. Larry, the first time I met Larry he stayed at our home while playing a gig in Redding, CA. I was 12 years old and my big sister brought him and his band home one night "The people&quo...

Larry Norman, I just read the news that your allready home with our Father. So your finally in peace, A little late but I want to thank you for all you have done while you where here on earth. You have blessed me and so many others all over the world! I'm a Dutchmen, but living in Sweden. You and your music hav...

Mike Brown

It seems apparent to me that a regular, on-going, Larry Norman forum (not one created primarily for family condolences) would be very popular. Why has no one put one together? It seems like it would bring the fans together and spark additional interest in Larry's work. (Also, together we might be abl...

Gord Wilson

One of the last interviews Larry ever did is posted at alivingdog.com. It's reprinted there by permission of the American Chesterton Society. It's unique because the president, Dale Ahlquist, is the brother of Larry's former wife, Pam who was, among other things, the stewardess on "Six O CLo...

Do you have any regrets that involve Larry Norman? I do. A few years ago I was hard up for cash and I sold two of my most prized Larry Norman items on eBay; The 'Blue Book' magazine and an autographed CD cover of "Only Visiting This Planet". I don't remember how much money I got for them, but looki...

joel burkum

Just this morning I was thinking about Larry. Tonight I got on the internet and, about 10 minutes ago much to my surprise, learned that our beloved Larry Norman died on the 24th of February. I'm bummed, even though I know he's in the best place right now--with Jesus. Larry's music and heart made a huge im...

Mark Ebert

I never met him, but I miss him. I know he is with God and I know I will be with God someday. Still, I miss him and I wish I would have told him how much his music influenced/influences and inspired/inspires me.

Larry's voice is gone but is not silent. My son attended his funeral as a friend, even though he had never met Larry; yet, Larry's music has been a friend to our family over the years. I first heard Larry at a small gathering of people in a private residence in Pasadena, CA about 1971 during Christmas....

I'm filling in my CD collection and was gifted with $75.00 in Amazon choices. So, I've been beefing up my Larry Norman collection. Home At Last just arrived. It's a good Cd. Some of the mixing is a bit spotty, but all of the material is great. Sitting In My Kitchen is one of my favorites. Interesting t...

At 17 I was an avid MTV watcher. I went to stay with my Aunt & Uncle which listened to a LOT of Larry's music. I was a prodigal and couldn't wait to turn off Larry's music in favor of my MTV. This one day God was calling me to return and I listened to I Am a Servant 5 times, on a turn table no less, as I wrestle...

Steve Smith

I was unaware of Larry's passing. I was on my way out of the country when it happened. I'm saddened to hear the news. I play Larry's songs in church and coffeehouses. I always wanted to meet him. His music drew me close to Christ. That probably would be the greatest tribute to any Chistian musician. He wil...

Gerard

Hi, I found this long interview with Larry. He gives many answers on questions asked here. Even talks about Fehrion. As I found out recently Fehrion means something, but I'm not sure what it means. Another artist also uses this word, Chris Roseberry, wich I don't know at all. Since I'm Dutch it's even h...

Urs HEINZ

Beloved Larry, I shall never forget the historic , first JESUS-Rock concert, on the Castel of Lenzburg where you played a concert, together with Garth Hewit ( a friend of Cliff Richard ) and the Deliverance-Singers from the Janz Team. As the castelan on the LENZBURG and initiator of the first Rock f...

Does anyone here have that cool picture of Larry standing in a graveyard? I think it wa inside of the 'Home At Last' album. I've been looking for the picture online but haven't been able to find it. I was wanting to use it on my tribute page to him. If you have it, please scan it and post it. Thanks.

The world surely has been blessed to have had Larry Norman in it.

He have made a deap impression on my heart. His music change my heart!

As a tribute to my bro in Christ, I would like to ask others for their favorite quotes from Larry. There are so many it is hard for me to choose just one. [Please keep it to one or two sentences and don't abuse Larry's song material. Please don't ramble on and on with your own thoughts. Give your sour...

Sakari Loytty

I want to convey my deepest condolences to the whole Norman family in your sorrow. Larry Norman was one of the greatest song writers and singers ever and he inspired all of us. I was priviliged to work with him as a drummer of Q.stone in Finland, Sweden and elsewhere in Europe in 90s. For me those experi...
