The Petra Zone

Its amazing what you can find digging around YouTube... Here's an, apparently, recent performance of Greg X Volz doing some solo tunes off of "The River is Rising". Louie Weaver is backing him up on drums. The description says thats Mike Schmitz playing rhythm guitar. Nice. Barrier http://www.youtub...

I realize I'm probably waay behind in posting this link which may have already been shared here before but I just came across it yesterday and thought it worth sharing with you all at the Zone. We don't often see much of the band behind the scenes and this is a pretty nice glimpse (30 min. worth and...

TOP 5
1. More Power to Ya
2. Beat the System

Just got an email...Classic Petra's concert in Dallas for this coming weekend has been cancelled. Tickets will be refunded. I'm officially bummed.

$2.50? Nice price, rexreed!

Yes, just the five tracks. Here they are in order, with running lengths:

1. Excursions(4:02)
2. Water of Life (3:28)
3. Messiah(6:12)
4. Busy Signal (5:21)
5. Excursions, Part 2 (3:21)

Its an instrumental album. Short, but sweet. I personally like it better than his "Media Alert" solo effort.

For anyone interested...I just discovered John Lawry's little known 1997 solo album "Excursions" on iTunes for $4.95. Very cool effort and well worth the purchase price.
