King of Pain


For those of you that missed it last night, either by not being up at 2 in the morning or by catching the favor of the gods, PBS broadcast the dream team of Sting playing with Lute Master Edin Karmazov. If the musical stylings of Feyd-Rautha weren't enough to keep you as amazed as I was after a bottle of wine, the limber one also read from John Dowland's personal letters. Dowland, as I'm sure you know, was the Elizabethan songwriter who pioneered all things lute.

This also marks a much more upbeat performance for Sting on PBS, his last apperance being for a tribute to James Taylor.
Tivo away.
