The Petra Zone

A few more shots from the weekend have been added at https://picasaweb.google.com/112283137464667479369/HallOfFameArnoldsPark02# . These were the shots I sent to Head East webmaster Drew Willis, which had a mishmash of shots from me and Sue. You may well have seen some of these from Sue's post. Enjo...

Hi everybody! Had to check the chatter on the zone for this event. It's been a looooooong time since I posted here. There is just never enough time. I've been having a running dialog with John for years about just such an event as this. I've ridden the roller coaster from casual interest if the righ...

Hey! I remember some of those shows! Hard to believe it was that long ago. Thanks for sharing!

Perhaps I had the advantage (or disadvantage) of being a late comer to the Petra party. But the first time I heard Doubletake, I thought it was one of the more creative efforts I have heard. I had not solidified the original versions of these songs as the 'standard' at that point, and was able to ap...

I was this close to making the trek from the Chi-town suburbs to Menasha. Would have loved to catch up with everybody, but couldn't quite swing it. I did pass your contact information, Sue, to a friend who sometimes gets involved with her church entertainment planning in the Chicago area. She was go...

Also, it was really great to have something of a reuinion of the Petheads. It's been a little while since I've had the opportunity to spend some time with the gang that made it down. Alot of the usual names, plus I got to meet a few new friends, which is half the fun. I had a great time, and look fo...

Hi all. We did make it to the Bolingbrook show, and it was really good. Maybe ~40% Grafting, with other John, Petra and II Guys stuff mixed in. John was in great spirits, and sounded great I think the dry air inside may have gotten to him after awhile, but he dd a great job, and is a tremendous show...

Sue's gone digital???? What is happening with the world??

I will be there, and am bringing a few of the old guard Head East fans, as well.

It'll be a pleasure to meet another Easthead dragonfly Pethead. Wait a minute, that may be the ultimate definition of IIheads!!! I sure hope the Bear-Packer game, now being played at 7:15, doesn't keep the masses away from Sue''s party! I'm setting my recorder. If I get lucky, noone will tell me any...

I've got my room booked. I'm looking forward to it, as well as the mini-convention two days prior in Il.! I do not think I will join in the caravan to Ft. Wayne, however. Hope lots of people turn out to join the party!

In tribute to last New Year's, maybe we could have a 'Promoter Drop'.

Sorry. I couldn't resist that one.

Congratulations! Glad you posted that last pic so we could see who the groom really was!! All the best to you both!

PS: We already had the Arwen comment. Anybody for Gimli?

That first one comes from John's days with Head East. The song is 'Never Been Any Reason' off their first and best selling album.

'There's never been any reason for you not to list with me.' Gotta love it! Can't you just see John on a TV commercial belting that out?
