*** I Put An AMERICAN IDOL Into The Hands Of An AMERICAN ICON ***

On Friday night, I attended a Meet&Greet/Signing for one of the most popular and beloved artists in the world. The 1960's pop culture icon, Peter Max. It has been said that Peter Max is to art what the Beatles are to music. He is responsible for the psychedelic art of the 1960's and early 1970's and has continued painting to this day (in a colorful, yet evolved _style_). You can read his bio and learn about him on his site:

Anyway, my husband and I had commissioned a painting from him last year. We brought it back to the art show this weekend to have him sign the back. We also gave him a present as a thank you for creating the painting for us.

So, guess what part of that present was? That's right - Chris's HPF CD! Peter happens to be a music lover and loves to listen to music while he paints. His musical tastes run the gamut - from classic rock to Nickelback and Incubus to blues and jazz. So, hopefully Chris will be Peter's inspiration for his future masterpieces!

Girl you rock...That is so awesome. I like Peter Max's artwork also.
And giving him the HPF cd....you are cooler than cool.

Rosalee,
Way to go! His art work reminds me of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
I had the opportunity to give Peter Noone a copy of HPF new CD. I have gone to keeping an extra copy of HPF's CD in my car. That way if the opportunity arises, I can give it to someone who I think would enjoy the music and would be likely to share it with others. I have also given copies to several authors at book signings.

Rosalee - that was such a great idea to give Peter Max a
CD! I sent one to Reba McIntyre and she sent a note back saying she couldn't wait to listen to the Chris Sligh CD. It is such a small world - you never know when they will all meet up.

Rosalee,

Brilliant, just brilliant!

So, where are my karma points?

Carmen, Yes - Peter Max is in the same class with the artists you mentioned. Why don't you and Marleybone copy your posts from here over to Chris's blog? Let Chris and the other fans know what Fro Patro supporting is going on behind the scenes...
