The Petra Zone

Its probably just me but I find it strange that after being virtually silent for so long Greg's website is finally updated along with his blog post announcing to the world the possibility of a "Classic Petra" regrouping without Bob and possibly with Ronny Cates all within a few days of John releasin...

The details can be found under the "Blog" section

Just saw that Greg X finally revamped his website and curiously it notes "I'm looking forward to the future! I have about 10 albums in my computer I have been writing for the past 8 years, that have not been released yet. John Lawry and Louie Weaver and I have been talking about getting back togethe...

Anybody else notice that on the cover page of the CCM United We Will Stand website it show a pic of the band with Ronny, but when you click on "Artist List" link it shows a pre Ronny pick of the band with Mark Kelly. A simple oversight I guess, but you would think they would get it right....

It's up on Johnny Lawry's Soundcloud and at this point there is a link from Facebook to it. It was said to have been worked up for the Sene-Fit benefit at the end of Oct. They didn't get to perform it there so instead of letting it go to waste John & John got together sometime around Christmas and t...

So has anyone else heard the new version of Prayer by John Schlitt & John Lawry!!! Amazing!! Great to see them working together! Hopefully this is just the start!!!!!

Listening to it now!! I like it!!

Have to disagree. I've seen Louie play live many, many times and on most occasions (when he was not too bored) he played anything but restrained. On several occasions, I think that he may have even "over drummed" if that is possible. I have some live soundboards (that will remain uncirculated) and L...

[/quote] I know over 50 people at least that have never heard a John Schlitt Petra song (that they know of), but loved the Volz stuff. So, if they are reading the blog, it will make sense to them. They will not have some preconceived idea that there must be some evil conspiracy against John, etc. Wh...

We have had several inquiries from people asking what happened to John Schlitt. As most people know, he took the place of Greg Volz from 1986 until 2005, when the band retired. John went on to have a successful solo career after leaving Petra. He is still a good friend of the band. You could draw s...

Kinda silly putting so many pairs of sticks up at once - especially if he is trying to make the most $$ possible - but as we all know there are much more important things than $$!!

Hi, I actually have two of those in my Petra collection. I normally would never consider making a copy of a commercially available CD for anyone. I would just point you in a direction to find it for yourself, but chances are it would be quite tough. Last time I saw one on eBay I think it went for so...

Did anyone else notice that when this auction closed there were 33 bids on it? Just thought it was rather interesting.............33
So was the final price of over $600.00.

Hi, I will be there along with my wife and son. I believe it will be my 27th Petra concert and sadly, most likely my last. I'm so glad there is finally a date in PA!

It seems a bit silly to include the guitar solo, even though it is Bob, and even sillier to include a keyboard solo of a former member. Especially since Petra scrapped their keyboards.
