Written by Scott Cavin for Chris-Sligh.info
 Scott and Jean Cavin First of all, I want to thank the folks at Chris-Sligh.Info for inviting me to write to you guys.
My name is Scott Cavin, I’m a close friend of Chris Sligh. We worked together over the past couple of years and I taught him to sing. Ok, not really, we never have really worked together. We are friends and he could sing long before he met ol’ Scotty.
I met Chris through Josh Bradley, who was working with me at a church where I was pastor. Josh comes to me and says he knows this guy who’s in a band with his brother and he can rock it out. Now, as a pastor of a church going through a transformation, rock'n it out isn’t exactly music to the ears. Nonetheless, Chris and Josh, transformed that little church into a happen’ place of contemporary worship.
Long before Randy, Paula, and Simon started critiquing Chris’ music we had some ladies and gentlemen in our church who didn’t mind telling you what they thought, literally. So, Chris is more than able to handle his own with the likes of Paula, Randy, and Simon.
Thus, began my relationship with Chris Sligh. I’ll have to admit, I was hooked on SLIGH from the beginning just like you guys are getting hooked now on AI. His voice just does it to you. You’ve only heard a tiny portion of what Chris can bring.
The wit that you’ve heard, it’s for real. The funniest guy I’ve ever met. True story, looks out in the audience of our church one Sunday morning just before the service, says through the microphone to my daughter: ‘Hey Anna, we’re playing the brat game and your winning!” So hearing him say to Simon, “just because I don’t sing Il Divo or teletubbies doesn’t mean I can’t sing,” didn’t surprise me at all.
I’ll try to squeeze info out of Chris (ok I’ll beg) from time to time to share here on the hottest website in America , Chris-Sligh.info. Not promising anything earth shattering, but I’ll try to get some stuff to share that might interest you.
Now for your job…YOU MUST VOTE FOR THE ENTIRE 2 HOURS EACH NIGHT. NO SLACKING OFF.
Howard Stern is trying to sway the vote by getting everyone to vote for Sanjaya. Listen, I like the kid as much as the next guy, but Chris is absolutely the best in the competition. So don’t let Howard Stern or Vote For The Worst get this thing in shambles. Vote for Sligh and don’t stop till your batteries die, then charge them quickly and start again. Charge them during the show so they will be ready to go.
Why, you may ask, am I so adamant about all of this. Because, I have a chance of being there for Bon Jovi week. Purely selfish reasons are prompting me to write. I know it may seem odd that a guy, who has pastored a church, likes Bon Jovi, but I can’t help it. Since 1982 and a 1/2, I’ve loved Bon Jovi's music. Haven’t listen to much of the solo stuff he’s done, but the band is/was awesome.
By the way, all you guys who were at the University of South Carolina in the mid 80’s with me, look who’s still rock’n, John BonGroovy. Get you some of that!
