FILL HER UP in Rochester
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: www.homestead.com/turningleaf 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
