So, I'm a "new" guy

Post by jonmcg93 » Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:31 pm

Not sure if this is the right place to make a introduction thread but here goes.

About me:
I'm 35 years old, married for almost 15 years, with a 13 year old daughter and as of today a 1 week old baby girl. I play in a total of three bands:

Anduril : Drums and Lead Vocals (mix of rock and metal orignals)
Layman Church - Vocals, guitar, bass or drums
BikerChurch Roanoke - Vocals, guitar, bass or drums
I've been playing drums since I was 14 and singing since I was 4 (on a stage that is). Bass and guitar about 15 years or so apiece.

My faith:
Was saved at a young age, recommitted my faith when I was 30 and started really seeking what God wanted for me then.

Petra:
First heard of Petra in the 80's around "This Mean's War". Liked "War" but didn't own a copy, so I begged and pleaded for anything Petra. Dad found an old and battered copy of CITAS and the rest is history. I really got into the Greg era around 2002 or so, when the band was sort of in hiatus.

I like all the "versions" of Petra with the various members, but prefer the "Greg" led days.

Can't think of anything else super important so... HI!

Cool, well welcome to the place where it's cool to listen to 80's Christian rock! I first heard TMW myself very cool.

Welcome and thank you for the story. It's an exciting time to be a Petra fan and this is a great place to express it. I lurked for years before joining. I think it was the announcement in 2005 that was the final motivator. I lost a Theme park and a favorite band in 2005. I joined a forum for each. Astroworld is still demolished but Petra came back.
