Michelle and list,
I just finished over the Holiday's
reading both Wild Thing and Last Train. Both GREAT reading if you are into the
Police. I wish I had the opportunity to meet and hang out with Ian Copeland.
Such a great spirit.
Anyway, I just wanted to echo a bit of
what Michelle wrote in an earlier post. A few years back Andy Summers was
touring in a van promoting his latest CD which I think was the "X" one. I'd
heard that he would be passing through Nashville and so I went down there
with a friend and fan of the Police. I was amazed that there were only
maybe 20 people at the show! What happened that night though, was an awakening
to the fact of how much of the Police sound was through Andy and his guitar. It
really set me back. After the show my friend and I were finishing off our third
or fourth bottle of wine and Andy came over to our table and asked how we liked
the show. He joined us for a couple more bottles and we had the best hour or so
shooting the bull. Great personality and a wicked sense of humor. I walked away
that night feeling that I'd made a new friend, but more so realizing the HUGE
contribution that Andy made in the band with the Police.
I really hope I get a chance to see
them live.
regards,
mike
