Tony Levin has been an enormous influence on me as a bass player and, like a lot of people on here, he was my introduction to the Chapman Stick.
I've seen him live with Peter Gabriel & King Crimson a few times but I was incredibly excited to find that "Stickmen" were playing in a little club in Cardiff a few months ago (nobody like that ever plays here!).
As well as being able to watch Tony play Stick from only a few feet away I also got a load of CDs & my copy of "Beyond the Bass Clef" signed that night.
It was a real joy & an honour to see him play & talk to him & I'm still smiling about it months later.
Here's a couple of photos:
