He was called the father of contemporary Christian music. Larry Norman died this past Sunday, February 24th at the age of 61. Just before his passing, Larry said, "I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God's hand reaching down to pick me up. I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home." Larry's influence in my life was huge. As a young (25) just-beginning radio host, I was playing his music Saturday afternoons on KNIS, when CCM was just in it's youth. With so much more to say, I'll let Larry say it himself.

Hey Dad,
I saw that today on the Christianity Today website. It was interesting to see what Randy Stonehill said about him. He was certainly an influential person and I think he was "ready." Thanks for your post on him...
