Also the mainstream press is not the benchmark for my musical taste or opinion. Dry-as-dust perfection is totally-irrelevant, and worse, it's BORING. The funny thing is that is how I see Sting's rock music. So maybe that is why I am so shocked I did not expect such "amateur" recording by him. Don't forget the "amateur" comes not from me but the "mainstream" Amazon site. I am also the last to recommend wobbly vibrato, but you already know that if you have read my previous mails. In the end this is an internet forum and what I have said is often meant with a smile and with the spirit of exploration. But if you are worried about what the mainstream world thinks, don't worry the Sting PR machine is much louder than my little squeaking. I am sure you won't be assaulted by Sting fans on the street. Just one thing, does anyone else think that Stings comments mean that he is just doing his own thing or is he claiming to have the answer ? As I said I have an inquisite soul, sometimes moving outside of the mainstream. best wishes Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
