Spirit of '76 by the Alarm

This is a video by another one of those criminally underated bands from the 80's. Mike Peters always sang with passion and "the Alarm" live were the match of any band including U2!!

Here's my friend Chris and his band WOLFMEN live!

Check out this sneak peek at the WOLFMEN live! My friend Chris is the bassist and singer.....we've agreed to enjoy a curry together when I'm next in the U.K.

Check out classic "the Call"!

This is one of the great unknown and underappreciated bands of the 80's and 90's! ENJOY!! Now Let the Day Begin!

Live in South Africa



I promised a follow-up to my 'much anticipated' post.... I finally purchased the 'Live' album for my birthday.....and it was worth the wait! Jonathan really cuts loose live and his passion really shines through. "No Woman No Cry" is a stand out track, as it was when I heard it in concert back in 2006. The DVD provides some wonderful insight into Jonathan's roots....so pick up the package and enjoy!

Hear an NPR tribute to Larry Norman!


Kudos to NPR's Day to Day for airing a short interview with Charley Norman and some pointed clips of Larry's most noteworthy songs. At least they recognise his cultural relevance!

what I'm listening to now....


In honor of the great Larry Norman, who passed on to glory early on Sunday morning February 24th, 2008, I've been listening to the genius of his talent on "In Another Land" and "Only Visiting This Planet". He has provided a major part of the soundtrack for my 33 year walk with Christ.
