The Petra Zone

I'm a long-time lurker to this board, and I've been a fan of the band for much longer than that. I've read the classic/reunion Petra comments with great interest. I have come to the conclusion that I won't be attending concerts by either incarnation, if for no other reason than the political nature ...

Is it just me, or does that almost EXACTLY like the theme song to "Friends"?!?

I'm not a web designer, but I would be glad to help provide content. I have been a full-time journalist for more than 10 years -- actually my first paid byline was on Bob back in 1988 or so. I've covered NASCAR for most of my career, and John and his son have actually been to a couple of races at Na...

Bingo. I knew I'd heard that line a bazillion times. I could hear John singing it, but just couldn't place which song. I should've known another writer would be the one to help a brother out.

Fairly nice shadow boxes are available are most any arts and crafts store. I got a pretty big one for some space memorabilia that I have that's...

Hello, all ... long-time lurker, first-time poster. Sorry ... do I apologize for something like that? What's the etiquette? Anyway ... I've got several videos from the '80s -- Stryper in Japan, both Bloodgood releases, Whiteheart, Petra's Backstage Pass (I think that's the name) and I'm sure a few o...
