This is a new US DVD with Andy teaching guitar licks. If it's taken from the old VHS then a large part of it consists of Andy playing POLICE stuff, too. Ebay offers the DVD for under US$20.

Botti confirms fan's request to Sting
by Maggie White 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

>From a new interview with Chris Botti on www.livedaily.com LiveDaily: How did you go about choosing which songs you were going to record for the DVD and PBS special? I'm very, very particular about the material that I do--with the one exception. Sting chose a song called "What are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" That was his choice. In fact, there's a very funny story behind it. The song is very, very deceptively difficult. It's a very, very difficult song to sing. [Botti sings in an off-key voice.] "What are you doing ... " I can't even sing it and I'm a trained musician. I was joking with that voice. [Laughs] It's a very tricky interval. It takes an amazingly accurate singer to sing that song. I asked him afterward, "Why did you chose that song?" He said a fan, some woman, stopped him on Fifth Avenue in New York and said, "Hey Sting, you ought to record this song 'What are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?'" He said OK, and we recorded it. Literally, that's how random it was. I said in the TV special, "If you're that fan, thank you for stopping him." Fans never know what kind of impact they have on musicians. A lot of times, they think they mention something to someone and there's no way they would take my advice. But all the other material, I chose for everyone and tried to make it, like, stylized to fit the arc of their different voices. There's so many different voices, and so many different kinds of approaches to the music. I tried to make it appropriate to each person. --------------------------------- Love cheap thrills?

Large Video Collection for Sale
by Jon & Susan 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hello friends, I have 20 or so VHS (NTSC) video tapes for sale. The tapes have mostly Sting, but some Police, Oysterhead, Stewart Copeland, Fiction Plane, etc. I think you get the point. Most of the tapes were recorded off of TV and I have edited the commercials out (professionally). I worked in the television industry, therefore the access to good equipment. Some of the programs are in bad quality. I am putting out the warning right now! For example, some of the audio is over modulated, video is grainy, etc. I wish some of the tapes were in better condition, but some were acquired in trade and the quality wasn't very good when it arrived to me. I apologize ahead of time to the person who ends up with the collection. Most of the tapes have been recorded from 1991 onward. I have a list of the tapes in pdf file. If you are interested in the collection, please drop me a note and I will fire off the list to you. Some of the lists have timecode, dates and details of the program. I want to sell all the tapes as a collection. I am trying to lighten the Sting collection and this will be a start. I don't know what to sell these for. I am not looking to make a killing, but some money would be nice. I know all about the pros and cons of selling stuff like this. I am not pirating or bootlegging this material, so I don't want a lecture about selling this stuff. I just would like a Police fan to end up with this collection so that they can enjoy some Police TV. Cheers, Jon

police influenced

Hi hi hello, I of course dig the police to no end, except "Behind My Camel", they can stay in the hole that Sting dug. Anyway, I have a myspace page to try and find a singer as well as a band to play bass(to the point) I have many tracks that have a police sound and for kicks and giggles, I uploaded one called ( of course) cops. Like Sting, I also like to play with music and sometimes show the song's influence. _www.myspace.com/theystillcallmebruce2_ (http://www.myspace.com/theystillcallmebruce2) And for the person who asked about Pearl Jam's Police covers, I found "When the World..." and can email it. pinched by The Police, Sean
