Originally Posted By DyGDisney Christian bands are like any other band, but they play Christian music. They travel around on tour like other bands. The music is NOT like the music in a hymnal at church, in fact some of it is very hard core. There are all types of Christian music, some of it is like country, some heavy metal, some rap, some contemporary, some alternative (my favorite).

I've just never heard of Christian bands. Maybe there aren't that many over here, or maybe they are not popular enough. I think I'm just not the kind of person that is attracted by such bands. Are they played on regular radio stations?

I don't know if there are such bands, at least I don't know any and the big radio stations play the regular rock and pop music. I just didn't know that there are Christian rock bands.

Tomorrow I'm catching up with a friend I haven't seen for over a month (we normally see each other once a week). On Sunday I'm seeing an embarrassing movie, so let's not go into that. Aside from that I'm having a quiet weekend reading and nursing my sore hand back to health after my second biopsy in three weeks (have you ever noticed how much you use your hand? Of course it's my writing hand, too.)
