If you like harmonica this ones for you. Some of the early pioneers of the Jesus Movement got together a while back.

You can see Barry Mcguire, Second Chapter Of Acts, Jamie Owens, Melody Green, Honeytree and others sitting around the room.

The music is supplied by Darrell Mansfield.

Larry Carter is a GREAT guy and really nice to talk to in person. I went to a McGruders concert in the 80's when he was playing with them and after the concert...we must have talked foir about 45 minutes!

All I really came to do was buy a Mcgruders tape, but he was working the tape booth and we got to talking....again a really nice person.

This was in Dyersburg, TN. when I heard him....it was a sothern gospel concert that featured a TON of artists and the Mcgruders were last...but boy did that guy tear a guitar up! Especially when they broke out on "I'm just warming up"!

But I like the fact that he can either play rock or country styles and be great at both. I would not have sat through an entire southern gospel concert if I was not wanting to hear him play live so badly. But I did that night....and was not dissapointed.

He played David and the Giants' song I'm a Fanatic. It went over big at campmeetings.

Why Dont You Look Into Jesus by Larry Norman

As far as I know Larry Norman was the first one doing Christian rock. Keep in mind this early music had no Christian audience. It was almost fully evangelistic with the hippie movement as the hearers. He challenges them to turn from their ways to Jesus.

No I do not think its right for men to have long hair. Although the discussion of how long is long is valid. Now Larry Norman was an example of "to long".

But his music really blessed me as a young Jesus Freak. I remember going to an Aerosmith outdoor concert for witnessing purposes with another Brother. As we drove around looking for people to witness to this Bro was blasting out Larry Norman tunes. People were attracted by that and it would lead to a witness.
