Our Fro Patro picnic took place over the July 4th weekend. We attended two concerts given by Chris - on the evening of the Fourth of July, and then again on the following night. In between, we had the picnic in Centennial Park in Nashville. Everyone had a great time,  meeting each other for the first time in most cases.

I have put some photos from this past weekend in the Image Gallery, under a new header, Fan Photos. Please let me know if you would like to add some photos to the gallery. 

Chris has just collaborated on some songwriting with Luke Menard, a top 16 American Idol contestant from Season 7. Luke has recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. While he is fighting that battle, he is going the Christian music route with his career. Luke also sings with the acappella group, Chapter 6. Read about the work Luke is doing with Chris on Luke's blog (see his July 8th post). We'll see who gets that song up online first.... Luke's June 20th post discusses his latest career move.

Next is a new discussion from the Christian Radio Feedback Room blog on the state of music on Christian radio, music testing, and the "Becky demographic" syndrome. Read the article, references, responses and Chris's comments.

From Oklahoma City, a video where Chris asks, "Who was your favorite American Idol from Season 6?". Our own Fro Patroer, Candy Hamilton, makes an appearance in the film.

Also from last weekend, a video montage with still shots of the Chris Sligh concert.

Chris recently gave an interview to poprockcandymountain.com. Click here to read.

Also, from May, here is a short interview and a Chris Sligh shoutout from GodTube.com.
