Many many years ago, I BELIEVE it was around 1982, I happened to a yard sale and bought a LP. <br /><br />That LP was &quot;Only Visiting this Planet&quot;<br /><br /><br />The cover was a bit ragged, and there was writting on it from a pen, a little scribbling, but somehow, I just knew I should pay the lady the &quot;Quarter&quot;, for it.<br /><br />I took it home and put it on my Stereo Record Player (not a single scratch on that Record btw) and was blown away by the music.<br /><br />From that point on, I had to have More Larry Norman Music. And so i did. I've lost all the old tapes of his that I once had thru out the years; but I do have some downloaded on my PC.<br /><br /><br />I would Like to thank the Family of Larry Norman, for Sharing him with us all, he will be missed greatly by millions.<br /><br />Maybe now Larry Norman and Keith Green can play some jams together, imagine that album!<br /><br />All my Best to Everyone<br />Ray

Sadly I heard the news of Larry's passing on Friday night (Feb 29th). I was saddened by the news that someone who had kept me sane and inspired during my conservative Christian upbringing was no longer with us. But then I began to reflect on the joy that this man's ministry brought to my life. Although I lived half a world away in Australia i managed to be touched by Larry. Both by his recorded works and his live concerts and the rare occasions that I was able to meet him back stage or after a show. The thing that brought me the most joy was his ability to challenge the way we all thought of Jesus and the gospel. Larry was a straight shooter and was never one to pull his punches. God knows Christianity needs a few more like him right now.

Today I visited a local 2nd hand record store and I picked up a copy of Only Visiting this Planet in almost mint condition. It's on the turntable now as I am typing this and toasting the life of Larry Norman by sipping some whiskey from a paper cup. Looking forward to catching up with you when I come home.
