Well, this list has certainly been interesting in
the past few days... Anyway, I thought I'd offer up something positive for a
change. A few months ago, some of you might remember that Andrea and I sang Fill
Her Up on stage with Sting. Thanks to some wee little devil from the islands of
Greece, you can now download this track:
You might have a hard time spotting us out at first
-- Sting waved us over to his mike and we were a bit shy to sing in his mike.
But Sting encouraged us (if you listen carefully, you can hear him say "Come
on!") and we both belted out "Here I come" and "God Damn!" Then you can hear us
singing along with Sting. My voice is the lowest octave, while Andrea's is the
highest. It's just the two of us singing "...That old cash box... on the top
shelf... boss is sleeping..." We're basically singing along during the whole
song, but that damn Sting, he sings so loud!
I started clapping after "...and what real
happiness can it bring" -- Sting noticed and said "Yeah! You clap!" with a big
grin on his face! Then 12,000 people followed suit...
It all ended with him saying "Thanks guys! See you
next time!" as he knew he would!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. It was a
dream come true and an experience a Sting fan can obviously never
forget.
Thanks Andrea - it wouldn't have happened without
you. Thanks LBB (or is it LGB? I'm confused!) And thanks Steve for the crappy
picture!
Cheers,
Fred
