    The day I discovered Petra and John Schlitt's voice was the day I decided I would become a singer, 12 years ago. To have him along with Petra's keyboard man John Lawry here in this channel is the happiest moment of my career so far. If it weren't for those guys making music even before I was was born, there would be no Dan Vasc.
    Here is a few links for those who don't know Petra:

    If you like classic 80s rock, a great place to start would be the album *Beyond Belief* - open.spotify.com/album/1ssGLn8MxlaOnOoB2c47yl?si=wDjQCptfQ629X-TUv82eBQ
    If you prefer something heavier, start with their more metal album *Jekyll & Hyde* - open.spotify.com/album/4SFONOPEVHp7zTeitiXFlt?si=tdUGOrGeSleAnfJ4zf-ytQ
    Also check John Schlitt's latest solo album *GO* - open.spotify.com/album/4V2qXUyOEjJHIJ8jGnpDrp?si=S-xHzxQNQBaXH20W-Op2hw

      I'm pretty sure Schlitt can only sing in this key in a studio setting nowadays. Petra's last album with John was a step down, and ever since all their live stuff has been played in the lower key as well.
      This still sounds really good, but you can tell he can't really belt it out like he used to. (No disrespect to him whatsoever, but he was a lot younger 30 years ago lol)

    Imet John Schlitt after one of Petra's last concerts. I was surprised tolearn of his age (50ish at the time). I loved his attitude. He told me he had an energy most 50 year olds didn't have and he decided to use it for serving God through music. Quite impressed. Sad the group split up. Still listen to their music.

    I'm a Christian and I am surprised by the response to this song from so many people. I had heard rumors of Petra from my youth pastor, and thought "That must be some old cheesy music." This was my first exposure to them and I am both musically and spiritually encouraged by this in a time where it is hard to have faith. 2020 has been beyond belief in a bad way, but this song gives me something to reflect on in light of our circumstances.

    12/8/1998, it was Monday, I lived in a small town in Brazil called Brusque, early afternoon we get aboard on this bus trip which would take mostly youth people from my hometown to a city called Joinville (southern Brazil).
    As a fan of Petra Band, had more than 15 of their cds and vinyls, I was extremely excited with the opportunity to see them for the first time ever!
    The bus trip lasted for about 2hrs, we got to the place and the concert opening was hosted by a singer called Aline Barros.
    I was with two friends, and I told them that I was gonna try to go up the stage when John Schlitt was singing, so we went all the way to the front, as close to the stage as we could get, and then there was a rope and a gap that separated the public from the stage, in this gap there were many security guards.
    At some point the security guard in front me got distracted, I took advantage of that, ran, jumped on the stage, went towards John Schlitt who was singing and embraced him, he then put the microphone in my mouth and I could sing along with him.
    But that lasted maybe a few seconds before the security guards got ahold of me and kicked me off the stage.
    For me, it was a dream come true, one of the most memorable events of my life.
    Oh, and yes, my friend took a picture of my encounter with John Schlitt. 🤍☀️🇧🇷
