When was the broken arm?
Didn't she break her arm the first time she went skiing, on her way out the door? I know she said that somewhere. Right before they were about to do a tour of the orient or something....did she really do the tusk/accordian thing w/ a cast on?!

Poor Chris broke her wrist (tennis accident or something) back in 1980 when the band was headed to Japan for the Far East Tour. Hit Parader ran a bunch of photos of her in her cast playing the Japan/New Zealand shows. In one shot, Andy Sumner of the Police was backstage signing her cast.

Even worse than playing the accordeon, it must not have been much fun playing piano & keyboards with the broken wrist, even though the cast kept her fingers free. Actually, ergonomically, it was probably like having a wrist strap!

Was it skiing, Lis? All I remembered was that it was some sort of sporting activity

Yep she had to play a bunch of shows with her (right?) arm in a cast. Luckily for "Don't Stop" & some other songs, she's left-handed. WMYTYTO must have been painful, however.

Well, I just learned something new about Christine. I had never heard that she had broken her arm or wrist. Does anyone have that Hit Parader with those pictures of her playing in a cast?

Yes, I'm positive it was skiing. Actually before skiing--She slipped on her way out the door of the lodge or whatever, and broke her arm. Then she said "Never again." Poor Chris.

-Lis (who after a near death experience almost 20 yrs ago has also sworn off skiing! never again will I hit the slopes!!!!)

I swore off intertubing after being dragged 35 mph by the crotch. I felt like my leg that was in the water was going to be ripped off. I couldn't sit, walk, or stand without pain for a few weeks. Luckily the swimsuit stayed on...

I know. And I thought I knew everything about her. I'm surprised we've not seen pics of it though.....

Actually, Chris is ambidextrous. Look at how she plays the guitar!

Okay, now I have this image in my head of Christine in a recording studio dressed in a blue habit, and whacking John on the hand with a ruler.

You can tell listening to her play on songs like "Don't Stop" & "Angel" that Christine is left-handed. The attack on the rhythm shuffle of "Don't Stop" is pure lefty.
