STEWART COPELAND

This is a 15 minute interview with Stewart as he gives a tour of the Scared Grove and discusses the instraments in the Grove.

Stewart's diverse knowledge and talents with various instraments is well shown.

The flag appears on the wall at about 10:12.

Great great great!
At 15:28 I can see something Police related on the wall...yup!

Niiiiice!

Wow! 1,500 square feet of music fun.

It was great listening to Stewart give the tour. It was just as much fun to see what's in the background and on the walls. I noticed the five Grammy Awards and various other trophies on a shelf.

Stewart is obviously a fan of African art. Did he pick those up while doing the Rythmatist?

I wish the tour would have moved over to the spot with all the computers and the monitors. Perhaps Stewart himself will give us a glance in the future.

And that guitar that Sting gave to Stewart as a birthday present- isn't that a quatro like the one Sting plays all the time? What's the brand name?

Finally, I never realized that SC has huge hands. He would probably be a really great bass player if that was his full-time gig.

I'd like to know more about the percussion instrument Stewart's son made for him. Is it a copy of a classic instrument, or his own design? It's so cool and sounds great too!

Not entirely certain, but I saw something similar when looking for traditional African instruments. But nothing nearly as cool or complex as that one!

I love this from 4:45 to 5:35, where Stewart’s talking about his dad. (I feel I should mention that “Daddy” is the typical name in Alabama for one’s father, no matter how old you are. I call my dad “Daddy”, too.) First white musician to be seen with a black band? If you know Birmingham history (or Southern history in general), that was a really big deal in those days. His dad was a brave guy.

That was my favourite part too. That and when he sits and play the arabic rhythm on that darbuka-cajón kit

It must be a southern thing as I referred to my father as daddy until the day he died.

just brilliant thanks for sharing

Yep. That's right.

More evidence that it is a southern thing. I grew up in the midwest and last called my father "daddy" as a very small boy. Never thought of calling him daddy after that.

Very cool.

Nice place to record a single, (hint hint, nudge,nudge).

YEA !
