Alan Gibson's book on Larry Norman making progress.
AUTHOR and Larry
Norman expert, Alan Gibson, reports progress in his eagerly
awaited biography about the Jesus Music pioneer. Said Gibson "For me,
2009 has been a very busy year with many projects on my agenda. I
have also worked many hours on writing Larry's biography - and equally
I've spent too much time seeking to locate and make appointments with
hard-to-source key contributors. But thankfully, it appears that only
a small number of concluding interviews are necessary. When these are
completed I expect to be able to move on to editing the sizeable
script sometime in 2010. When I started this project my main concern
was to complete the manuscript as quickly as possible. However, since
beginning work on Larry's biography, my priority has changed somewhat.
Now my main concern is not with the timescale but rather with
concentrating on researching thoroughly and writing an extensive and
balanced manuscript. As a result, to date I have consulted with and
interviewed several hundred people around the world about their
experiences and memories of Larry Norman, including fellow musicians,
promoters, roadies, record company executives, managers, church
leaders, friends, fans and family."
