Larry Norman ist gestorben

Larry Norman, einer der ersten und besten Musiker der seinen Glauben in seiner Musik ausgedrückt hat ist am 24.02.08 gestorben.
Am Tag zuvor hat er noch folgende Nachricht hinterlassen:

"I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God's hand reaching down to pick me up. I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home. I won't be here much longer. I can't do anything about it. My heart is too weak. I want to say goodbye to everyone. In the past you have generously supported me with prayer and finance and we will probably still need financial help. My plan is to be buried in a simple pine box with some flowers inside. I'd like to push back the darkness with my bravest effort. There will be funeral information posted on my website, in case some of you want to attend. We are not sure of the date when I will die. Goodbye, farewell, we will meet again.”

Larry`s Musik hat mich mit geprägt, ich werde seine Lieder weiter summen und immer wieder an die Konzerte und das Interview das ich mit ihm vor Jahren führte denken.
We will meet again.....
