New Recording In The Works?
If your speakers are on, you should be listening to a new recording by Larry, a cover of CSNY's "You Don't Have to Cry." A while back, many of Larry's friends participated in an informal survey regarding their favourite songs. Without revealing too much about the project, it's safe to say that it will include originals, and a new way of looking at some older songs. Keep tuned for further details!

After 24 years, Larry's first recording, Living Jesus, is now available as a download.

"We Are a Family" Cassette technical problems
It has come to our attention that many of the cassette copies of Larry's "We Are A Family" do not contain Larry's lead vocal! The original publisher apparently used the music mix masters to run cassettes, instead of using the master recording tape. If you happen to be one of the unfortunate recipients of these tapes, please drop Larry a line, and indicate where you purchased the tape. We apologize for this problem, and will be happy to arrange to replace the cassette with a tape of the complete recording. The CD is currently out-of-print, but details about the re-release are listed below. Until then, we hope you can find a use for the music mixes you have.
Two recordings to be re-released on CD
Plans are currently under way to re-release two of Larry's earlier Christian works on one CD.

Please contact Larry if you are interested in this new CD, and we will contact you when it becomes available.
