I warned everyone, it's past 9 p.m. my time.
And as one of my favorite musicians once said, "Goodnight Austin Texas, wherever you are".
We played a gig with the Police sometime in 77, I chatted for a long time with Sting, we both played identical Jazz basses then and swapped for 10 minutes to try each others out ( his was in tune
). Apart from being older than me my overwhelming memory is of what an absolutely lovely guy he was, I can see him being missed by his pupils when he left teaching. You could tell somehow even then he was going places, if it hadn't been music it would have been something else.
