I remember one particular game o baseball where I got bundled over by some dude and John went right off his nutter at him. Hmmm, the name Rob F. sounds familiar, you didn't happen to play in some other unknown bands did you? Express? Anyway, good to find something to feed my nostaligic side.

Got to know Ben when playing with "Factory Seconds" and "The Blue Phoenix" at the same venues around Sydney a long time ago. He is a fantastic guitarist and an all round great guy.

I have recently uploaded 'Sound Asleep' (John Dickson & Ben Shaw, part of In The Silence) to my computer and am listening to it at the moment. Out of curiosity I searched for Ben Shaw, saw he is curator at a church in London, then saw this blog. Can't recall the other band members - maybe the drummer was Jacque? I remember a couple of girls in my youth group were a little besotted with him (hello to Jenny and Karen if you ever read this!! ha ha) What a blast from the past!

In The Silence have also folded, and like Joint Heirs, there's not a lot of information to be found. All I could remember was the lead singer was John Dickson. Using that as a clue, I've also tracked down guitarist Ben Shaw. I no longer have an ITS album (I think I had a cassette. Remember those?) so I can't get the rest of the groups names to hunt them down. <strong>John Dickson (lead singer)</strong> has been a church minister and is a published author (The Christ Files was turned into a Channel 7 production for Easter 2008). He has <a href="http://johndickson.org/" rel="nofollow">his own website</a>. <strong>Ben Shaw (guitar)</strong> is <a href="http://www.wimbledon.org.uk/about/emmanuelstaff1/" rel="nofollow">a curate at Emmanuel Church in Wimbledon, London</a> and is <a href="http://www.ministryblue.com/ozdad.html" rel="nofollow">also a published author</a>. Does anyone have any info on where the rest of the group is? G’day Mary, Thanks for dropping by!

I can't believe the people who are commenting on this post! @Rob: More Power to Ya was the second Petra album I owned after Beat The System. I think Petra peaked twice: the first was MP2Y and the second peak (for me) was around the time of Fire. I remember going to see them at Festering Hall for the Fire tour supported by Rosanna's Raiders. I have hosted a couple of radio programs over the years and Whiteheart were a favorite along with Rez. Oh, and guess what I found the other day? "Crash through the Barrier" on cassette tape! If only I had a player to listen to it... Oh wow! I can’t believe the people who are commenting on this post!
