The Petra Zone

I am not here very often, but when I saw this on Facebook last night I thought of you all. Have you seen this yet? I hadn't until last night.

There are people on the Facebook group "Jesus Music 1969-1989" That post charts all the time. They are mostly radio people who have access to the ccm update trade magazines. You could check with one of those guys.

Here are the links to the John Schlitt interview:

Hello everyone. It has been some time since I've been here. I want you all to know about a new online radio station that plays Christian Rock from the 80's and 90's. Some of you may have been familiar with The Sound of Light radio program that came on Saturday nights. Bill Moore was the music direct...

Where did John come with the $35,000 price tag? I've seen many other Kickstart campaigns that were a fraction of this total, and they were for an entire band (Falling Up, High Flight Society). That number seems really high!

With a little bit of research I have found that I am not the only one who has heard that. However, the band denies it. I have heard it my self and it does blasphemious. My guess is that they did it on purpose to sell records. There was all kinds of occultic (Satanic) things done in music back then j...

The reason I stopped listening to Def Leppard is the song Love Bites. If you listen carefully as the song fades you will hear a voice say "Jesus of Nazareth, go to hell." When I first heard it I felt like someone just punched me in the gut. I stopped listening to all Def Leppard at that moment. It w...

Petra has the first song on this disc. Kinda cool I guess. Won't be buying it though.

I have been to many Petra concerts over the years. They always rocked, but they also glorified God. You felt like you had been to church after you left the concert. Kutless seems to be similar based on the Live CD. I think these guys really want to honor God with their music.

This is a signed photo I got back in 1991 when John did a solo concert in Spartanburg, SC. It's been in a box up in my closet with all my other high school "stuff". I looked at several of the Petra fan sites and John's site and did not see this picture. Is it possible that I have something rare??? I...

I just bought Strong Tower from Kutless. They do a cover of "Take Me In" from Petra Praise. Did Bob Hartman write that song? They also sing "Better Is One Day" from Petra Praise 3 (Revival). I was only somewhat familiar with Kutless up until now. I really like these guys. I also got their LIVE CD an...

Look at the metal band he is wearing on the other arm in the photo with the black shirt. I thought Petra has retired??? Long live PETRA!

I'm a little confused. Britt Dillard (original host of SOL) is back on Saturday night with a show called His Radio Z. I thought Bill Moore and Britt Dillard worked together.

I grew up listening to the sound of light in the late 80's - early 90's. Brit Dillard and Bill Moore are good guys. Bill Moore is a huge 80's rock fan. He used to work at a Christian bookstore in Easley, SC. He helped my wife complete my Petra collection one year for my birthday. Good guy and good m...
