I agree... Petra should never have stooped to recording that Argent song. Three times. hehe

Three times? I'll take your word for it. I know you are kidding, but truthfully, I'm not all that fond of Petra's recording of GGR&RTY. I am NOT one of the people who screams for it in concert. It doesn't 'trip my trigger' as Sue would say. But apparently it does Greg X Volz's.

Don't take my word for it. Check for it on Come & Join Us, Beat the System, and Captured in Time & Space.

Murphy would be a wonderful place for a reunion! How bout it!
I don't know if a Petra reunion would be possible - but we sure could have a John Schlitt reunion - he does have a solo band that I know would be more than thrilled to come on down.

Wanna start planning now?

The guy who owns the gym I attend goes to a sister church that I go to. He heard that I went to Petra's concert in Dawsonville and that John was inspiring us to donate to the Food for the Hungry.

The gym owner is a big participant in Food for the Hungry. He thought that maybe him and I could persuade John to do a charity concert in Atlanta to help raise funds for the Food for the Hungry. I would be an interesting endeavor to pursue...do you think?

At the Murphy concert, Greg said their label brought "Gad Gave Rock-n-Roll To You" to Petra. It was original suppose to be part of a compilation album from various artists. After awhile the album project was ditched, but they decided to record it anyway on their own album.

Well, technically four times, since it accounts for two different tracks on Come and Join Us.
