Well, everyone has said it already on this post. I read "Wild Thing"before this Tour was a twinkle in Sting's eye, and the strong love Ian had for his family came thru in different parts of Ian's writings. If any of y'all have specific folks to remeber this Memorial Day, maybe add Ian Copeland to that. Ian's IRS group was directly responsible for running a slew of great bands during '81-'83 thru the Blacksburg VA/VA Tech market ('Wave Night Wednesdays at After Sundown, whoo-hoo!!!). We got to see English Beat, REM, Gene Loves Jezebel, etc....at our local venue due to that SouthEastern college touring strategy he used. He probaly would've had a BLAST with this Tour......
Thanks to the Melanoma walk folks. If there is a posatl address to send contributions to, please 'Post' on this Forum sometime.

my thoughts are with you and your entire family today Stewart.

Ian was a stellar human being and getting to meet him was an absolute treasure I carry with me to this day. I will drink a rum and coke, affectionally known as a Leroy Coolbreeze, in his honor today.
