An article in The Missoulian shows a photo of Renna homeschooling her son Christopher in the parking lot before a Widespread Panic concert.
Renna, her husband, Kevin, and son, Christopher, 7, have toured with Widespread Panic for the last four years. They home-school Christopher on the road, following the band while selling their Panic-Stricken Chicken Wraps, out of their makeshift Panic-Stricken Chicken Shack. The chicken wraps contain chicken, cheese, lettuce, salsa, bell peppers and onions.
Don’t those sound good? I think I know what we’ll be having for dinner tonight. Well, homemade ones; we’re not traveling to Ogden, Utah, to get them.
Christopher gets an amazing hands-on US geography education, too. With just this Fall tour, he’ll visit these states: Tennessee, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Alabama.
I have obviously been wasting a perfectly good opportunity. Can you believe I did not think of this? Homeschooling in the wake of a touring band?
Hmmm. I have some rethinking to do …
Well, a person can’t think of everything, can they? Ozzy’s on tour right now.

If Ozzy’s too hardcore or if a family wants an international flavor, Donny Osmond is also on tour. He’s in Great Britain ’til the end of Oct.
