So the other night I went to see Sting playing with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. I was prepared for disappointment, as the only way I normally would want to listen to a cello is cranked through a Marshall stack. But it was damned fine, even rockin' at times. The guy is still a hell of a musician and singer, and with his singing style, I'm surprised that his vocal chords have weathered the years so well. The orchestra really stepped out of their norm and did a fantastic job.
