Recently I came across an aboriginal Australian by the name of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu. To hear him sing is nothing short of inspirational. He has sung with Elton John, Sting and many others. He sings in his native tongue and knows very little english. You will notice that he has playing a right handed guitar LEFT HANDED. He only had access to a right handed guitar as a kid and learned to play it left handed UPSIDE DOWN. Here he is with Sting doing Every breath You take. Check him out on Youtube..... he has many other songs on there. You'll be glad you did. For Sting to say " hey come sing with me ", thats not a bad effort.

Good to see another Sting fan Bordo.
A couple of years ago, we were lucky enough to see Sting on his Symphonicity Tour here in NZ. The Mission Vineyard in Hawkes Bay, a beautiful summer outdoor evening, quite a great experience.
Anywho, this was quite a revelation for me, like most of us of advancing years, Gordon grew up on a diet of early 60's cowboy TV programs. So he wrote this song to honor the early influences of "Bonanza" , "The High Chappaerall" etc.
But the ultimate honor for him was when it was covered by this guy.
