The Petra Zone

Cool!!

This is exciting news for fans and for the band, regardless of the lineup. Frankly, what makes me a bit weary is the chronic complaining on this site every time something new is announced re: Petra, ClassicPetra, or John Schlitt. Each time something new is announced, it's not long at all before seve...

Boray is right in that there is no Petra without Bob Hartman. And whatever else he could do (which was plenty), THE key thing he always brought to the table was his writing. Period. Daniel is right about Paul Simmons. I love Louie as a key part of the 80's magic, but Simmons was spectacular when he ...

How about your least favorite individual studio-recorded Petra songs? I personally never understood why the following were included on any published studio album... I can be friends with you friends all over me hand on my heart Have any of the rest of you ever wondered about these specific songs? Do...

Best... No Doubt - more great songs herein than appear on any other single album. The others - well, let's just say there are great songs on all of them. Hard to choose by album; easier to choose by individual song. Worst... Again, certain individual songs would make my list, but hard to dis an enti...

Yeah, sorry for the slow reply here. I got an email from JE notifying fans that he was looking to launch a kickstarter, and it's on his fb page. Sounds like it's very difficult to record anymore...unless you are publishing hardcore rap, in which case there seems to be plenty of cash available.

did anyone else notice that john elefante is now attempting a kickstarter campaign similar to that of schlitt?

andy

How exciting! I'm happy for John and know he'll give his all to this project. What a treat for us all!

andy

Yeah, Don't Look Back to HeadEast material. There's Never Been Any Reason to do that. Making the goal - it's exciting, isn't it!!! :) I look forward to John's giving of everything he's got to this project - talent, energy, passion, effort. I'm proud to be a part of his ministry. And I'm grateful for...

up to 21.5k
...

wow - closing in on $21k. That's a hefty chunk. Still hoping...!
Andy

So far:
114 backers
$8,320
Average: $73 per backer

Need $411/day on average from here on out to reach the goal investment total.
At the current average per-backer rate, that's 5-6 backers needed per day. Get the word out!

Andy

Up to 103 and $7,780 now. You know, success often breeds success. As more and more fans and supporters contribute, perhaps others will be motivated to join a winning cause. It could be like a snowball effect. Also, it's possible there's one or more future contributers out there who can pitch in with...

...like predicting the rapture... LOL! :P What a sad and discrediting thing for those who believed that false prophecy. Just think, some of the folks who were deceived by it spend their entire life's savings on billboards and radio spots to "warn the world of impending judgment." Perhaps their fooli...

Do you guys think the main contributor pool for this new effort is tapped out? I mean, do you think there are many others out there who will contribute, who have not already done so? I surely hope he gets enough to move forward. I soooooooo hope he does!
