What a blast from the past that was!

The Petra Zone is still part of my daily routine, but it's awfully quiet these days.

There is even a crowdfunding campaign running, but it doesn't have any rewards, like with Kickstarter or Pledgemusic. https://www.generosityrocks.com/unionofsinnersandsaints Kevin Max is using the same platform for his Larry Norman cover album, and he does offer 'rewards', so I'm not sure why The Un...

Scott Huie of H2O Artist Agency used to do booking around that time. Sue D. as well. H2O is currently at h2oaa.com, before that h2oartistagency.com. The last one goes back to 2002, but I think there must've been a site before that. I don't know the URL for that one. https://web.archive.org/web/20020...

Petraband.com was the first official site Petra ever got. Try petrafanclub.com. They might've still been around in 2000.

Or otherwise old versions of H2O's website.

It's hard to tell with Dale Thompson sometimes because he has some rather interesting ideas about theology.

It looks like this isn't all the same Keith Edwards, but most of the Jesus music stuff should be this Keith Edwards.

Start with the band members, Dan

If it's done well, this would be a lovely project!

Yes, The Worm is loosely based on Psalm 22. Dale Thompson really likes to write perspective-songs, looking at a certain topic/moment from the perspective of a certain person. This is one of those. He applies the metaphors on Psalm 22 on a person (in some sentences clearly recognisable as Jesus), who...
