Hi everyone, I was told by fellow listers that the drawing on my mug is by Dominic. I just wanted to note how psychologically interesting that is, considering the placement of the figures and their size. Sting has center stage, of course,and the likeness is very cute. Dominic is the sad little figure at the rear on the left. Kipper is the gigantic figure that is standing so close to Sting that the figures overlap. Everyone else is just sort of standing there looking at Sting -- and Kipper, of course. At the concert in Hershey, Sting introduced him as "Mon Capitaine!" My husband's theory is that Sting, for all his protestations, is trying for a more commercially marketable sound, and I think I may agree. Interestingly, I just happened to catch a rerun of that old special on Ovation last night -- the one where he celebrates his 44th birthday -- and tells the interviewer,[my paraphrase] "I make music for me. Probably no one will be listening to what I write as time goes by, but I don't care." So I guess the marketing theory is plausible, despite what he said in that interview -- either that or Kipper has something really, really incriminating on him!!;-) Just my two cents -- Holly
