I was so sad to hear that Larry Norman had died.
The news will affect so many people across the world. Larry wasn't a musician who received main-stream popularity, but there are thousands who had the privilege to see and hear his songs and those people will be greatly saddened. 'Music for the minority' it may have been but music that contained air from heaven within it.
To see Larry perform was to be lifted out of this dry dusty world and be taken to a high vantage point that life could be seen clearly from.
He stuck faithfully to his message.
He was a soldier who marched, fought and won.

I was very sad to learn of Larrys death on Sunday. He was a great influence to my music and an incredible songwriter who's passion for the loss was evident to see. I was fortunate enough to have seen Larry Norman live a few times in Belfast and actually met the guy face to face, a true gentleman. As mentioned in the above article, his humour was an important part of the show and always worked a treat in Belfast, a city where he claimed was his favourite place to come. Maybe he said that everywhere but hey, it worked for us! I am sure that Larry has affected and inspired many more to pick up their instrument and serve their Creator, for that I am grateful to such a music legend.
My sincere condolences and prayers go out to the family.
