Stew is... probably being Grandpa Copeland with all his kids...
Stewart has had a lot going on lately and coming up in the future. There's the (incredible) Ben Hur orchestral score to the original silent film which he performed live twice last year, in Virginia and Chicago (with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra), and has several performances scheduled for next year in California, Washington and Europe. He did a wonderful short tour performing a mix of his original compositions and classical reworkings with pianist Jon Kimura Parker, "Off The Score" which will be touring again next Spring. Saw two of the shows this year and am looking forward to the upcoming performances. He's got a new piece premiering in Pittsburg in February and a newly commissioned opera with a preview of some of the music scheduled for January in New York. That's just a few things coming up...there's a very good updated summary thread here: http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11120 Let's just say he's quite busy and I'd rather keep enjoying these great complex works from Stewart than pining for a re-hash of pop rock of the 80s. sockii
