Listening to Larry and Barry

Debbie and I had dinner with some friends last night. Les and Fiona Cowan have a great retro Christian record album including the full range of Larry Norman and a few Randy Stonehill and Barry McGuire records. Cool! I heard Barry when i was 11 years old and got to meet him a few years back in San Francisco.

Never met Larry. And I almost met Randy.

    I know you got a little annoyed when I mentioned spending an hour with Randy previously, so it would probably be wrong for me to mention the great photo I had taken with Larry when we met some years ago.
    If it makes you feel any better, I’ve never met Barry.

    Larry Norman turns 60 on April 20th!
    He’s having a concert and party in Salem, Oregon. To get tickets, and find out more about this guy: http://www.larrynorman.com.
    I wish I did not live so far (Ottawa, Canada)! Larry actually came to our lovely town several years ago for a fun concert.
    Larry: Happy Birthday, and may God continue to use you in our lives…

    I have met Larry twice. Both in the early 90’s. He played at my bible School and then at another church. The second time me and a few other people went out for pizza with him! I sat right next to him – we chatted for a long time about his love of G.K. Chesterton.
    Nice guy – too bad he’s been so ill recently.

  • Okay so I have a question or two (they are totally random, but I needed to ask):
    Is it actually considered wrong to baptize a baby? I have this friend who grew up in the Catholic church, but doesn’t agree with a lot of their ways, so she comes to our church, but she does truly want to baptize her younger children.
    Another question is can I baptize someone if I’m not a pastor?

    Larry Norman! I still love his high scratchy voice and ornery lyrics.
