II Guys from Petra
At the time of Petra's
retirement at the end of 2005, the future was unclear
for Bob and John. Both were pursuing other ventures
outside of the music business when Bob received an
invitation from Canada to lead worship for a youth
retreat. Bob immediately thought of teaming with John,
much to the delight of the sponsors. As Bob began
arranging popular worship songs for the duo to perform,
it became obvious that it wouldn't be much harder to
make an album together. After several months of work it
was time to christen the new venture. Should they call
themselves Bob and John...or Schlitt and Hartman? They
elected to call themselves what they suspected people
would call them inevitably..."Oh...that's two guys from
Petra"!
