In Memory: Larry Norman, 4/8/47 – 2/24/08

Larry Norman in Concert, December 15, 2006
I just heard that Larry Norman passed away yesterday morning at his home in Salem, Oregon of heart failure. He was 60 years old.
I wrote about Larry a little over a year ago, after I saw him in concert (where the photo was taken). He was very appreciative of the review, and posted a nice comment. Rather than blather any more now, I’ll just send you back to that earlier post.
Here’s a video of Larry doing one of my favorites, recorded in 2000:




I’m very sorry to learn of this. Larry Norman was indeed a classic artist and the true daddy of contemporary Christian music. Plus, he was just plain cool to boot.
