You're about to hear what happens when two originals come together.
One is a man who I have to say happened to be a major influence in my life when I was growing up.
A man who applied his faith to his art and became one of the founding fathers of contemporary Christian music.
The other is a group that I had the honor of spending quite a bit of time with on the
road that mixes elements of hip-hop, rock, pop, and [D] blues to create a sound that's definitely
one of a kind.
Here is Larry Norman and DC Todd.
