Larry Norman Message Board

Dan From Hamilton, Ontario

I was saddened to learn of the death of Larry Norman. I just found out tonight. My sympathies to Larry's family. I saw Larry for the first time in the Fall of '84 in a high School in Kitchener Waterloo and again in the mid to late '90's At People's Church in Hamilton. The 2nd time was just after he had rec...

Luke Carpenter

I would love to know where Michael is - does anyone know? thanks, Luke

Terry Roland

there was a time when Great American Novel seemed like the distant pass...all that talk about Vietnam and the invasion of human rights. Not to introduce anything divisive or controversial(I've done enough of that!).....but, I listened to the song today and was stunned. It's all happening again...

Debi MacDonald

I asked Jesus into my heart when I was 14 and the following year, went to a revival conert in PA called Jesus '74. I never knew Christian music could sound so good. That type of music really spoke to teenagers at that time and I will never forget the influence that he had, as a music, a poet and and an evange...

"Fresh"

this song came from Psalms 131, and had the words, "things too high for me"...it was truly amazing...a mezmerizing song that has haunted me for 30 plus years. I have no way of knowing if Larry wrote it or not...or maybe just performed it in concert. If anyone knows this song...if it's anywh...

servant of YHVH

Following is an EPIC tribute of Shakespearean proportions on Larry Norman as it appears in 18 counties of Arkansas and Missouri. To miss or not to miss there is no question This weekend the Christian contemporary music group Newsboys from Australia comes to Arkansas. This is a concert not to miss....

A great man and follower of Jesus has gone and many feel a sense of a big lost. I was able to see Larry perform in May while he was touring throughout Germany. Although he was already bodily weak he still had a great sense of humour and had a great time on stage! His songs and his example of beeing a discip...

For those concerned about Randy's comments, there may be more. Randy participated in this upcoming documentary by David Di Sabatino. I hope Larry did too, for balance. I found this blog-post: I have been working on a follow-up documentary that will soon be announced. It is on a somewhat similar t...

Kurt Van Gorden

Indeed I will pray for Larry's family members. When I became a Christian in 1971, Larry's music became the catalyst to jump-start my Christian walk. I saw him the following year at Explo '72, the "Christian Woodstock," as the press called it, in Dallas, TX. It was hard to find press cov...

One of my favorite Sr artists was Tom Howard. Does anyone know what he's up to or where he is?

soundz4u@verizon.net

Hello. I was so sad to find out today that Larry passed away. I didnt know until I attempted to contact him and his ministry regarding a distribution opportunity for his music. I have only spoken to him once many years ago at the heart for heart concert in San Jose, CA. What he told was very led by God. Early...

Was anybody at a Larry Norman concert at First Baptist San Mateo around 1987? I remember Larry had some trouble with the microphone that night. Also, a few of us got to eat pizza with Larry after the concert. We were remembering this one fan that came back and talked to Larry. He was a man in his 20's, br...

I saw Larry when he was in Sydney in the late 70's. He revolutionised my life in some ways. Thank you Larry for showing us the way to write the great Christian novel in music. Being critical and yet loving of our world. God was so good in granting us him for the years that he did. "But he who has what he ho...

Jerusalem Sweden

This is a message from the band Jerusalem in Sweden. We were sad when we heard that Larry is no longer with us, but he's now together with the savior he loved to sing about. Larry did battle and win against all odds in the beginning when Christian Rock was something, according to many, a bad and ungodly thi...

Paul bazalgette

In 1981 I sat with a beautiful woman in the Birlin National Stadium. Larry Norman sang his exquisite melodies and then I turned to this lady friend and asked her to marry me. Three fabulous children and 27 years later my life is blessed. I wonder how much I owe to Larry

Terry Roland

I read Randy Stonehill's comments on his site yesterday. First, let me say, I feel somewhat angry about the tone of the letter. I believe it was maybe a personal and private letter of regret about opportunities missed. I also wonder about his comment that he knew Larry better than anyone. I wonder wh...

Larry Norman... How can I ever begin to say thanks for the years, inspiration, the see-through soul that shouted into the vast wilderness of this empty World. And my empty World. We truly will meet again before the throne of our King. I am a richer soul because you dared to share yours..... Thank you. &q...

Hazel Briggs

I just wanted to say how sorry I was to learn of the death of Larry Norman. He was the first Christian singer/composer who realized that the devil doesn't have to have all the good music, that you could write songs that were up to date and still worship God and challenge people to think about their Salvati...

Jeff Adams, Lacey, WA

Few have stood so firm and brave. Many have been motivated by such an example. Who will rise up and be the next sacrificial, innovative, and motivational leader in mainstream music that never shrinks back from his/her faith? Who will touch so many lives through this kind of creative genius, purposef...

Why Should The Devil Have all the good musicians? He was a legend of humble stature He was a warrior who fought for what was right Maybe it was his heart, maybe his nature But he never lost his God given sight. Couldve been a household name Couldve been known for his influence They said, only if he didnt sin...

Paul D. from Canada

Hearing of Larry's passing was a shock and brought great sadness to my heart. He has gone home to be with his Lord! To me, Larry has brought me such joy, love and peace in his life and music. To me he was a gift from God and will be forever remember for the music that change the way I thought and believe about t...
