1996



  • Lost Dogs’ The Green Room Serenade Part One is released.
    Several tracks were started for "Part Two" including "Ready For Love To Win" and "Make Believe".

  • DA performs “Strong Hand Of Love” for the Mark Heard Tribute album called Orphans of God. Terry produced Loam’s Stereoscopic. Terry does the music for a CD Rom game called The Neverhood.

  • Larry Norman's Phydeaux CD release of 'Down Under' states in the linear notes: "A Country group on the verge of breaking up came to Larry and he jump-started a new career for them with the release of the experimental rock album, 'Horrendous Disc'. It remains Daniel Amos' most popular work to this day." (This is of course inaccurate information, because at the time of 'Shotgun Angel' the band was enjoying great popularity. The only time the band was under any strain was while under contract with Solid Rock and waiting on the release of 'Horrendous Disc.') *See Timeline '78-'81.

    The Swirling Eddies nearly toured with the Newsboys to promote "Sacred Cows". (Source: Terry Taylor)
    Tim: "On 'Sacred Cows' we played the cds of the original recordings in the studio while we just sort of played along with them, pretty much not knowing the next chord change..."

    November 1996
  • Dave Perry, partially to blame for the Eddies' "Spittle and Phlegm", the "Darn Floor - Big Bite" album cover, and DA's video production on the road, is killed in a freak skateboarding accident.
    "Terry spoke with him on the phone for a couple of hours, sharing the trials and tribulations each had been facing, and planned to get together for lunch the day after the competition. The last thing they spoke of was the grace and faithfulness of our Lord in the midst of doubt and confusion. Dave shared that he felt more at peace with God than he had in years."
