i'm mystified as well but more for the "baggage" that a talented, soulful, so-called "pop" artist is obliged to carry with him from one venue to another. if those who berate "sting" for singing and playing early music were to be suddenly transported back in time to elizabethian london and hear, per chance, someone other than dowland performing one of his compositions in any way different from what we now - in our time - perceive to be "pukkah" ... i wonder what would they say say? i'm sure - absolutely, positively sure - that hank williams "purists" would consider anything i might do to his compositions to be nothing less than a complete travesty. but there are nights - even here in tuscany - when content surpasses any and all concept of form. ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo!
