This week’s number was 1414 and what came up for me was Sting. Heather and I found him in concert at an Indian casino in southern Oklahoma just north of Dallas. I took my good camera to the concert and endured numerous finger waving ushers to put my camera away. You kidding me dude, you charge this much for tickets, and no pictures. No way Ray!!
I put together a blog post and I got a tweet from Sting’s tour that they liked it and another tweet from the tribe that owned the casino that they liked my post also. So…. I’ll keep taking pics at concerts. I mean they are selling music not photos right!! Plus we had cocktails with Sting’s keyboard player David Sancious. He is a very nice and gracious guy who got his start in Bruce Springsteen’s E street band. This year he toured with Peter Gabriel in Europe and is now touring with Sting and Paul Simon on their tour “On Stage Together.” We spent a lot of time talking with Mr. Sancious and I had my camera and I was not going to ask him for a photo. Sorry, it didn’t feel right.
I would love to have seen that show!
Love Sting’s music. Lucky you two.
Looks like you were right up front! We saw Sting with theLondon Philharmonic at Red Rocks – a great venue and a great performance.
Keep taking those pictures! All that fan stuff is the best advertising around. You got some great stuff.
Glad you didn’t back down with regard to your camera! I’ve been a pretty big sting fan since the Police days… what a talent, and I like how he surrounds himself with world class musicians (including David Sancious). Cool you guys got to spend time with him.
I’m such a goody-goody that I probably would have put my camera away. I need to learn to be brave like you!
Speaking of Barb’s post- Would love to see ANYONE at Red Rocks. Let’s start with the Moodies…
That is a wonderful shot.
