To kick off this archaeological dig, we're going to post something cool that wasn't actually in a sealed box. It was hanging in a closet. Larry's 1972 album Bootleg pictured him on the front cover, walking in a march. We think it was in Los Angeles, but we're not sure. Anyway, here's the front cover of the album.  Here's my son wearing his uncle's "famous" suede jacket. I think he needs to have it tailored.

Hello - I beleive the photo shoot for the cover of "Bootleg" was taken from a march in San Francisco as you can see the Golden Gate Bridge in the backgound.

Way back in 1978-79 my college friends and I went to see Larry at the state a theatre in Mpls, mn. I think we saw him twice there in that two year time frame. He was amazing and I've never forgotten the impact he had on our faith in Jesus. He was the real deal. His words before he passed are just as inspiring and spirit filled as he was then. I have xfer free the vinyl I have onto CD and MP3. Thank you Larry!! Praise God.

Hey Kerry, although at first glance it looks a bit like the Golden Gate Bridge, if you look closely you can see that it isn't. Also, there's no place in San Francisco where you would really be able to get that vantage point, as far as I know. I could be wrong of course, but I don't think so.

Those pictures of your son are priceless! Another Norman carries the torch! Wonderful idea to dress him in the iconic jacket from that album cover (of which I had a copy years ago) - what a family treasure.

It was a Jesus march in Hollywood. I was there. We marched up Hollywood Blvd from the Presbyterian church on Carlos Ave to a parking lot just off Hollywood Blvd where Larry sang and a group called The Salt Company also performed and someone preached. A friend of Larry's had made a poster with a stenciled One Way hand on it inspired by Larry. Larry had been singing regularly at the Salt Company, a coffee shop on the church property. When the audience would applaud, Larry would hold his hand up pointing to heaven. He told the audience not to applaud. It soon caught on that at the end of a song everyone would point to heaven instead of applauding. That was the birth of the One Way sign as I witnessed it. Leave a Reply. |
