DOMINIC TALKS TO MSNBC ABOUT WORKING WITH STING
Dominic
recently spoke to MSNBC's Michael Ventre about working with Sting. He
said
"It's not
always easy, but it's always gratifying. It’s always a challenge, it's
always exciting, it's always interesting. I may have a way of playing
a note that I think is wrong and he'll say, 'No, I'm happy with that.'
I'll say, 'No, Sting. It's wrong.' He'll say, 'No, I like it.' To me
it may not make sense, but he'll say, 'I'll make it make sense.' I
never worked with anyone like that before." Read the full article at
